Tornado Crash Pilots Named

Two crew members missing presumed dead following the crash of two tornados in the Moray Firth have been named.

Details of the crew members have been confirmed by Secretary of State for Defence, Philip Hammond MP.

The Secretary of State for Defence said. "I am sure the House will wish to join me in paying tribute to the Crew from 15 (Reserve) Squadron, based at RAF Lossiemouth, who were involved in the Tornado GR4 aircraft incident on Tuesday: Flight Lieutenant Hywel Poole who was killed, and Squadron Leader Samuel Bailey and Flight Lieutenant Adam Sanders who are still missing and must be presumed dead.

"My thoughts - and, I am sure, those of the entire House - are with their loved ones at this difficult time, and with the fourth member of the Squadron involved in the incident, who is currently in a serious but stable condition in hospital."
