Tornados' near-miss prompts system call

The RAF has called for collision avoidance systems on Tornados following a near-miss.

The recommendation was made by RAF Lossiemouth's Occurrence Review Group after two jets came within 200ft of each other over the North Sea in October.

One of the jets was part of an RAF training exercise and the other was a foreign military strike force jet.
