HI re the VC10 referred to in post #19 above I saw this on another site.
Cant see any mention of todays QRA which has been ongoing since mid afternoon.
Involved were XV105 VC10 90P62 and two Tornados ZE338 and ZE757.
The thread continues suggesting this wasn't a drill but an operation against a Russian Aircraft which had strayed a little close. Interesting stuff!!!
