An RAF tornado plane has crashed into the sea off the east coast of Scotland shortly after taking off from its base.
The pilot and navigator suffered minor injuries after ejecting from the £20m
fighter jet about 1745 BST on Friday.
The two crewmen, who were on a training exercise, were picked up 10 miles
south east of RAF Leuchars in Fife.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman said the men, who were taken by helicopter to
Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, were "fit" but they had "bumps and scrapes".
