I believe they are actually both RAF Tornados Theis

Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2006 6:50 pmAre you sure that GR.4 was actually intending to land - his approach speed seemed to be a bit quick to me?
He also had plenty of power & speed on tap fairly quickly considering he had full flaps down

Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2006 7:35 pmIt's very possible the GR was coming in for an overshoot or a roller and he was told that the F3 would be clearing the runway before he got to the threshold.
Another possibility is that the F3 is holding for the GR to do his approach (although the fact hes on the piano keys doesn't support that much) and clear again before takeoff but the GR pilot came in too low and had to go around as seen.
It could be something completely different, it's just a shame we can't ask the original cameraman who took this video!

Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2006 8:30 amIts one of those that you'll never know the answer too really. I suspect it was abroad as thats the kind of faff that the runway caravan controller at home airfields is there to prevent using flares/radio whatever...
