Wow, flying at night in a tornado sounds extra risky, but I suppose you have to
train for every eventuality - even tornadoes in Brüggen.
Oh, wait a moment....

That’s very interesting, Jim
There is obviously no minimum “crash” cover in the form of fire, rescue or
ambulance – perhaps because it’s not full-size passenger operations out of
hours.
I don’t miss night flying. My last trip at night was in 1998, in a Tornado,
from RAF Brüggen. It’s risky when you can’t see where you’re going ;-)
