Hi there, I was looking out of my window in London yesterday (Saturday 11th June) at about 1pm and saw a British Airways passenger jet flying low with two RAF fighter jets close by its side, presumably escorting it in to land at Heathrow airport. I haven't been able to find out what this was all about- and was wondering whether this is a common occurance or not. Just curious as I've never seen it before! Thanks, Paul |

What you saw was part of a government operation that is being undertaken as a military exercise against possible terrorist threats. Unfortunatly I am unable to reveal any more details to you. |
