foamy would have let the missiles do their thing

heh heh brilliant

too right i would have fired LOL .

hate to be a killjoy, but those radar guns have a maximum range of around 1 mile... so how they managed to lock on to a tornado is a mystery...

whats the radar range of the tornado jet? bet it locked onto the police radar, causing a fauls readout b4 jamming the signal. ......he he he ..........shame the pilot had some common sence lol

Radar range is classified, and in peace time i doubt they would have had live ordinance...

Much as we would love it to be true ...... it ain't. This story has been going round since at least the mid-90's to my certain knowledge - I worked in the MoD back then and recall some of my uniformed pals having a chuckle over it, not for the 'Stupid Cops' but for the impossibility of it....

Using the Foxhunter radar, it's 115 miles, but shhhhh, don't tell anybody because it's classified.
