RAF crew flying high after award
Two RAF airmen are to receive the Queen's Commendation for Bravery for containing a fuel leak and evacuating seven crewmen during a mission in Iraq.

They were refuelling a Nimrod when fuel began pouring from a spilt hose. The fuel created alot of smoke as the undercarriage was still hot after landing.

Despite being soaked in fuel, they disconnect the bowser to contain the fuel spill.
