RAF Typhoon's scrambled yesterday (24/01/11)

[Fouga]

Hi all,

Been reported on another Forum that two RAF Typhoons were scrambled to intercept and escort an Airliner that had a UK passenger on boards making disturbing threats.


The Airliner was escorted into Stansted, Apparently it happened around 11am and involved an RAF VC-10 as a support tanker, one of the Typhoons maintained a CAP over RAF Marham after the Airliner was safely on the ground at Stansted.

Nothing else coming thru but if I get some info I will post.
