Conversation overheard on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai ...
Iranian Air Defence Site:
'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'
Aircraft:
'This is a British aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'
Air Defence Site:
'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'
Aircraft:
'This is a Royal Air Force GR4 Tornado fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'
Air Defence Site: ( ..... total silence)
I love the RAF
