QUIRKY WORLD ... Near miss as Tornado storms past microlight
The Tornado was flying at low level at about 483mph on the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire border near Headon airfield when it passed 300ft beneath the “startled” microlight pilot.
In a report by Airprox, which looks into all such incidents, investigators also heard that military maps were also being redrawn after it emerged the site of the civilian airfield in Nottinghamshire was marked in the wrong spot — by half a mile.
