I used to work as a civilian for the U.S, military......and I still subscribe to a military defense newsletter.

This little gem was in a recent newsletter.

An air force official has confirmed that two missiles fell off an RAF Tornado fighter jet as it landed at a base in Cyprus in June

Two Brimstone missiles, which cost around £105,000 each and are designed to destroy ground targets, fell from the aircraft as the jet made a "hard landing" in RAF Akotiri in Cyprus

Fortunately, the missiles did not explode, and no-one was injured in the incident

The Tornado was returning from a mission in the Iraqi area of operations with unexpended missiles on board.

RAF Akrotiri is one of two British military bases on Cyprus, both of which are currently of major strategic importance due to their proximity to Isis-controlled areas in Syria and Iraq - the Syrian coast is only around 80 miles from Cyprus.
