Two members of the Lothian and Borders (Scotland) traffic police were
out on the Berwickshire moors with a radar gun recently, happily engaged
in apprehending speeding motorists, when their equipment suddenly
locked-up completely with an unexpected reading of well over 300 MPH.
The mystery was explained seconds later as a low-flying Harrier hurtled
over their heads.
The boys in blue, upset at the damage to their radar gun, put in a
complaint to the RAF, but were somewhat chastened when the RAF pointed
out that the damage might well have been more severe.
The Harrier's target-seeker had locked on to the 'enemy' radar and
triggered an automatic retaliatory air-to-surface missle attack.
Luckily(?), the Harrier was operating unarmed.
