Crew killed as RAF Tornado crashes

Two RAF crew have died when their Tornado fighter jet crashed near a beauty spot, the Ministry of Defence has confirmed.

A major search was launched after the jet ploughed into a hill near Arrochar, Argyll, on Thursday.

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, RAF Leuchars, in a Tornado F3 crash today."
