Two killed in Arrochar Alps plane crash

The BBC reports that two RAF airmen were killed when their Tornado jet crashed in the Arrochar Alps.

The plane, which eyewitnesses saw flying low over the Ardgartan campsite, continued over the Rest and Be Thankful pass before striking the hillside beyond at 11.45am. It is understood that the plane hit the flanks of Beinn an Lochain.

The plane was based at RAF Leuchars; next of kin have been informed according to the MOD.
