Scotland second row Scott Murray and team mate Simon Taylor took a break from helping their team battle their way out of the rugby mire yesterday when they visited RAF Leuchars to meet two Tornado crews who will perform a flypast before the France game at Murrayfield next Sunday.

The two crews from 43 (Fighter) Squadron are Squadron Leader Al Dodds and Flight Lieutenant Gus Littlechild, and Flight Lieutenant Andy Shaw and Squadron Leader Dan Storr.
