@bazzacollins in 2001 Rules of Engagement were Ground "Weapons Free" Aircraft Commander makes final call.Same principle for all military ops
Wonder who gets to make the call if/when the military should shoot a passenger plane out of the air? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-28662561 …

@CplCarrot Interesting. Others claiming PM makes final call. -
@bazzacollins So Strategy is "Dont let it risk civilians" RAF Tactic "Weapons off if heading over danger" Pilot "It was doing XXX so fired" -
@CplCarrot Interesting. Thanks.

@bazzacollins in 2007 when I last worked on UCCS for IBM and the RAF only the PM had that particular authority. -
@TheAlanSmith No, I'm genuinely curious. Thought it might be PM. Wonder what happens if he's unavailable, though?

@bazzacollins - Now that IS a frightening thought.
