RAF Tornado crash: Helicopter rescue pilot was wife of missing airman Her husband's commanding officer, Wg Cdr Jonathon Moreton, said the missing pilot "touched all the parts of the squadron," adding: "An immensely likeable character and professional aviator, he will be sorely missed. Sam was fully committed to all aspects of service life. However, he valued his family time the most. The squadron's and my thoughts are with his wife, Fiona, and young daughter Erin at this immensely difficult time. The operation to locate the bodies of Sq Ldr Bailey, who leaves a seven-year-old daughter Erin, and the second missing airman, Flt Lt Sanders, 27, is continuing. Flt Lt Hywel Poole, 28, was airlifted to hospital following the crash but died of his injuries. His colleague, who has not been named, is recovering in hospital in a military hospital in England. A Royal Navy ship, HMS Cattistock, has been identifying items on the seabed using high-tech imagery equipment and the Ministry of Defence has contracted a civilian salvage vessel to recover the wreckage. The operation has been hampered by continuing bad weather in the area, around 25 miles south of Wick. Flt Lt Bailey has been involved in numerous rescue operations in the past and was honoured in 2005 by the then Prime Minister Tony Blair for her part in a rescue, in difficult conditions, of a father who suffered serious head injuries while walking with his son on the Isle of Skye. The two £40 million Tornado GR4 jets were on a routine training mission from their base at RAF Lossiemouth when the accident happened around 25 miles south of Wick. Rescue teams spotted one aircraft in the sea, near the Beatrice oilfield, but there was no sighting, during a search carried out in thick fog, of the second Tornado.
