RAF Tornado & Tuccano near miss

Postby Wedgy » Mon Feb 16, 2009 4:59 pm



From BBC Website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7892448.stm

Video footage of a near miss between two RAF aircraft has been uploaded on to YouTube.

The footage, which shows a cockpit view of one aircraft as it is involved in a near miss with another, was posted three months ago.

The two aircraft involved in the incident are believed to be a Tornado jet and a Tucano trainer aircraft.

The MoD have acknowledged the video is authentic and are trying to establish when and where the event happened.
