Two RAF crew die as a Tornado crashes in Scotland
An RAF Tornado jet has crashed in remote countryside in Scotland, killing two crew members. The fighter plane, from RAF Leuchars, in Fife, hit a hillside in Glen Kinglas, Argyll. No civilians are understood to have been hurt. An MoD spokesman said: "It is with deep regret that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the deaths of two RAF aircrew from 43 Squadron, RAF Leuchars, in a Tornado F3 crash. "The aircraft crashed during a routine training flight at 11.45am. "At the moment, our thoughts and prayers are with the families, friends and colleagues of the two aircrew who lost their lives." Next of kin have been informed.
