The RAF Lose Two Planes.

Or at least they claim they did. At around 13:00 today (3/7/12) Britain's Royal AirForce (RAF) claimed to have lost two Tornado GR4 jet fighter/bombers out of RAF Lossiemouth in the Moray Firth off the coast of Scotland. The two crew from one of the aircraft were recovered alive at around 15:00. The reason why the RAF have a base at Lossiemouth is to prevent an air-attack from the Norwegian sea. During the cold war they used to play a game with the USSR whereby the Soviets would fly a bomber into British airspace and then see how long it would take for the Tornadoes based at RAF to respond and intercept.

In other news my father and I went to the supermarket today at around 13:00 and returned around 15:00. So the order of the day seems to be poke the Russian bear in order to kill all the Syrians.
