"Jerry" wrote in message ... Dan read ur post then it disappeared a user error me thinks. Were the various Eagles and Vipers even carrying 20mm ammunition for the Vulcans, surely this must be a pretty standard load out. Also were the planes that escorted that terrible day loaded for bear so to speak. I don't know what the UK situation is now but am pretty sure we scrambled Tornado F3's in case it was a co-ordinated attack here as well. I also believe that since then we have moved some assets nearer to London, does any of the uK crew know if that's the case and are they alert as they were in the days of the Cold War? Thanks Dont worry about the spelling errors, because I don't! Jerry Yes the Tornado F.3s are still based nearer London sitting alert. You can find the exact base if you want in the UK media. The last RAF QRA scramble against the Russians was on 13/14th February 2001 against two Blackjacks. TJ |
