RAF Plane Crash-Lands Near Forfar
A Jaguar jet from RAF Lossiemouth today crashed out on a farmland in the Justinhaugh area, near Forfar.
The plane came down in the middle of a field at Meikle Coull Farm shortly before midday. The pilot and the co-pilot ejected before the crash.
A helicopter from RAF Leauchers was called in at the request of the police after parachutes had been spotted.
An RAF Lossiemouth spokesman later comfirmed the plane had been on a routine low-flying training flight with two pilots on board. Both were picked up by the RAF Leauchars helicopter and taken to the Fife base for a medical but both were unhurt.
A Board of Inquiry will be convened at Lossiemouth to determine the cause of the crash.
