THE sole known survivor of a crash involving two RAF jets was last night fighting for his life in hospital after his fellow airman died and two others were missing, presumed dead.

The man, who was winched to safety by helicopter after ejecting when the Tornado GR4 came down in the Moray Firth, remained seriously ill in Raigmore Hospital, Inverness.

It emerged yesterday his colleague had succumbed to his injuries in the hospital following the crash involving the jets on Tuesday, which left fragments of the aircraft scattered off the north-east coast.
