In Scotland, not good.

It is not known whether the pilot and navigator were able to eject safely. No civilians are thought to have been hurt in the crash.

Update at 17:21

Two RAF air crew have been killed after a Tornado jet crashed during a training flight in Argyll.

Very sad, condolences to the airmen & their families.

The name of the glen is quite ironic.

Went through training just behind the frontseater. A good friend and a chap who'll be sadly missed by all whos path he crossed.

RIP

Sadly Charlie, he will not be the last one. The odds of more of that half your intake being alive when you retire are not good. During my time, I was in HMF at a well known station on the A1. Out post major test pilot was the last of his entry still alive. Never seen a man so thorougher in his work!! You have my thoughts.

Sorry to hear that Charlie, a real tragedy.
