Tornados crash in Moray Firth

[peteblue]

The RAF pilots and crew are some of the best guys you could ever meet, truly gutted for their families...

 

[Leonard Rossiter]

Search and rescue operation suspended now. It will resume tomorrow, weather permitting but as a salvage operation.

One of the two found has now been officially confirmed dead.

I don't personally know any Tornado aircrew, having never worked fast jets, but I've got a lot of mates and former colleagues who work as groundcrew on 12 and 15 squadrons. F*cking heartbroken tonight. Thoughts and prayers with the families who are waiting for the worst possible news and those who have already received it. Praying the other lad pulls through but he's critical still in hospital.

Per Ardua, Ad Astra. RIP boys.
