OK, completely freaked out. Picked up a Scoob WRC model I have and flicked the channel to Sky News and just saw the headlines. My god I hope the Telegraph have got it wrong. Just awful news.

i noticed the helicopter over Knockhill today aswell, think it was between half 11 and 12 when it was flying over knockhill.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.
