I was driving down the A9 from Inverness to Edinburgh today and got a
really
good look at a Tornado GR as it passed at low level over the road. Later
I
saw what looked like F-15's (2, maybe 3 - they were quite far off but
the
plan form is quite distinctive)

There was quite a bit (50%) of cloud at the level they were flying at,
and
obviously a lot of mountains about. Made me think of the fairly recent
case
where the US tried to fit up a Scottish ATC jockey for their F-15's
unfortunate interaction with a mountain. Amazing this doesn't happen
more
often really.

The US didnt try to fit anyone up, the RAF courtmartialled him

I had inferred there was an element of political pressure from our allies
and masters - or else why would the RAF have brought such a stupid and
pointless case? Either I'm being too paranoid, or you're being naive
