Title: RAF Tornado Close Call
Post by: Angry Turnip on February 16, 2009, 11:55:18 PM

RAF Tornado and what appears to be a RAF Tucano had a very close call. :o
Video is on You Tube but here is the BBC story.

Tornado crew sound completely unphased by it-turn the sound up and you can hear them having a little sing to themselves-if it was me I would need a change of undies!!! TMI??? ;)

I don`t like to call it a near miss because that actually means they hit,but nearly didn`t-poor grammatical term my English Teacher would turn in his grave if he heard it! ;D

Think I saw that on youtube a few months ago. Definitely scary. I think the little sing song could be to cover up the nerves :)
