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! ;-)

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.

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