    Sky news are reporting that a Tornado has run off of the runway at Newcastle Airport..... I know we are short of money and real estate - but I didn't think the RAF had resorted to charter flights from Newcastle!!!

    On a serious note - hope the crew are OK......

    An RAF jet has crash landed at Newcastle Airport after apparently colliding with a bird.

    Is she all right?
    Does she have big norks?
    Any pictures?

    Interesting point.... the BBC news website has a photo which says.... "The Tornado is being made safe by firefighters at the airport" WTF does that mean?

    Bird strike? To (badly) quote Eddie Izzard surely its more like engine suck? Do we have suicide pigeons? That would explain Dick Dastardly having an obsession with catching the pigeon, he wasn't the bad guy at all, he was trying to save humanity and we didn't realise.
