Two British traffic patrol officers from North Berwick were involved in an

unusual incident while checking for speeding motorists on the A1 Great North

Road. One of the officers used a hand-held radar device to check the speed of

a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill, and was surprised when the

speed was recorded at over 300 mph. Their radar suddenly stopped working and

the officers were not able to reset it.

Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in

fact latched on to a NATO Tornado fighter jet which was engaged in a

low-flying exercise over the Border district, approaching from the North Sea.

Back at police headquarters the chief constable fired off a stiff complaint

to the RAF Liaison office.

Back came the reply in true laconic RAF style:

"Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file on this

incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the

Tornado had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked onto, your hostile

radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it.

Furthermore, an air-to-ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also

automatically locked onto your equipment. Fortunately the pilot flying the Tornado

recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile

systems alert status, and was able to override the automated defence system

before the missile was launched and your hostile radar installation was destroyed.
