Two RAF Crew Die In Tornado Hillside Crash

Two RAF air crew were killed when their Tornado jet crashed in remote countryside in Scotland, the Ministry of Defence has said.

The plane, from RAF Leuchars in Fife, was on a training flight when it hit a hillside at 11.45am in Glen Kinglas, Argyll.

An MoD spokesman said: "It is with deep regret that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the deaths of two RAF air crew from 43 Squadron.

"The next of kin have been informed and have requested a period of 24 hours grace before further details are released."

The Tornado F3 came down near a tourist spot known as the Rest And Be Thankful on the A83 Arrochar to Inveraray Road, northwest of Loch Lomond.

No civilians are understood to have been hurt.

Search and rescue helicopters from the HMS Gannett naval base and RAF Lossiemouth were scrambled to search the area for the wreckage and crew.

An RAF spokesman said there had been a small blaze at the scene which the fire service dealt with.

Air accident investigators will try to establish the cause of the crash which happened when the weather was said to be overcast.

Witness Andy Graham, 60, described how he saw two Tornados flying low in the area around lunchtime.

"We get jets flying over here on training exercises quite regularly. It's not unusual to see them and you definitely hear them," he said.

"But today they seemed to be flying much lower than normal. We watched them fly along the loch, up through the glen and towards the Rest And Be Thankful."


没有平民受到伤害

目前以确认两名飞行员死亡。

军方发言人说： “斯特拉斯克莱德的消防和救援人员人员和英国皇家空军并肩合作，以处理这一事件，并找出失事的飞机。 ”

搜索和救援直升机号甘尼特海军基地和Raf Lossiemouth基地起飞开始在乡下寻找飞机的残骸和机组人员。

这架飞机坠落在接近一个受欢迎的旅游区A38 Arrochar到弗雷道西北部萝梦湖区域。

据了解的该旋风式战斗机的是在训练飞行时坠毁。
