It concerned a two seater Tornado (unspecified type #), in which the "back seater" with no pilot training at all, brought back & landed the aircraft after the pilots parachute had deployed in flight, & disabled the unfortunate pilot. The story brought a terse "no comment" from the MOD. Which usally means the facts are quite accurate! -- Ian Deeley School of Applied Science BITNET tafi3%syma.susx.ac.uk@uk.ac University of Sussex JANET tafi3@uk.ac.susx.syma England
