Apparently they didnt enter UK airspace, they came within 25 miles or so, it was the fact there was no flight plan and transponders switched off that was the problem for UK ATC as only the millitary were detecting them. Steve

Steve Hi Steve,  See what you're saying, but 25 miles is no distance in one of those things, especially when they are in commercial flight paths. At that size not so easy to skirt round Eh!!! Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
