Greek and Turkish planes collide



Greek and Turkish F-14 jets have crashed into the southern Aegean Sea after colliding in mid-air.



The collision, near Karpathos island, occurred after Greece scrambled a jet to intercept the Turkish aircraft, a Greek government official said.



Turkish television says the Turkish pilot had ejected safely, but there is no official word on the pilots' fate. A search and rescue is under way.


It's good to see that the BBC is as well informed as ever! ;-)



They've updated it... dullards!

i saw both too, at first i was thinking they meant F4's, but they meant F16's

One would have thought that a defence correspondent would be reasonably well informed on such matters. But then, the BBC employs people like Andrew Gilligan.

true, last week the bbc said someone found a Madacascan (how ever its spelt) corn snake........they dont half come up with some right old crap mistakes

Mind you... a Greek F-14, in that nice bluey camouflage, might be an interesting "What If?" project.
