Two Tornadoes down off Scotland

[sjwk]

Two people have been picked up by helicopter after two RAF Tornado jets crashed in the Moray Firth.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the Tornado GR4s, which have a pilot and navigator, were from RAF Lossiemouth, on the Moray coast.
The RNLI said Buckie, Invergordon and Buckie lifeboats were searching for two missing crew south of Wick.
The MoD said one of the aircraft had been seen in the water and the other was classed as "missing".

For two planes to go down, guess it is reasonably safe to assume collision? Hope the missing crew are picked up soon.

Has been described on the news as a collision. Search called off for the missing crew, now described as recovery rather than rescue.

Oh that's terrible. Thoughts and prayers with those brave people and their families.

Sadly, one of the rescued crew later died in hospital. The second is reported as being in serious but stable condition.
