Sure would be cool to have that happen to some of the speed traps around
here. If I were the officer involved, I think I might have a mild coronary
after receiving that letter.

Back came the reply in true laconic RAF style:
"Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file on this
incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the
Tornado had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked onto, your
hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it.
Furthermore, an air-to-ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft had
also automatically locked onto your equipment.
Fortunately the pilot flying the Tornado recognized the situation for what
it was, quickly responded to the missile systems alert status, and was able
to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched and
your hostile radar installation was destroyed.
