Two killed in RAF Tornado crash

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 on Thursday 2 July 2009.

The aircraft crashed during a routine training flight at 1145hrs at Glen Kinglas in Argyll, Scotland.

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