Thoughts and prayers to the flyboys. Hope they all banged out ok. What on earth could cause both GR4's to ditch? Flock of birds maybe? Question to the a/c techs - could it be a technical fault on both aircraft? Dodgy fuel?

<edit> Now heading towards Lossie!

Looks like the SAR helicopter has landed at Lossiemouth. Possible good news?

 

[shettie]

yup - he's on the deck - fingers crossed - if you click on the icon and select show track - he spent quite a while in the search patttern

Hope all ok inc techies, tough times....

 

[techie_tubby]

Thick fog in the area, potential collision?

 

[engchimp]

echoing sentiments, hope all involved are ok.

2 persons picked up and en route to raigmore according to BBC News

Thick fog in the area, potential collision?

Anything could be the cause. Probably best to wait until all are confirmed safe before the speculation train moves into overdrive?

Fingers crossed all involved are OK.

... hope all is well with the Aircrew !!! Tough times however for all the Groundcrew also. If this isn't a collision, what is the coincidence?

Thoughts to all concerned

Thoughts are with the missing & injured crew & their families.

The BBC are still reporting that a search continues for two crew members. As is usual practice on the goat please lets not speculate unduly on probable reasons technical or otherwise for the event.

Thanks TB

Not looking good. Hope all involved, air and ground are being looked after. My future Brother In Law is a squipper up there.

 

[Harry B'Stard]

My thoughts are with friends, family and colleagues. Fingers crossed that the missing two are found. ::

Just read about this on another site, fingers crossed.

 

[olliepop]

Here's hoping all are found. Thoughts with everyone... Not a good day.

Without wanting to sound inappropriate pity we don't have the good old nimrod here anymore to help out with the search.
