Aurora spyplane

[Rainbow Six]

I stuck a plot hook for Aurora in to my Alt SGUK (there was a rumour at one point in time that Aurora aircraft were based at RAF Machrihanish IRL. It was also an emergency landing field for the Space Shuttle).

Aurora
In early 1998 HMG decided to evacuate the RAF base at Machrihanish on the tip of the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll. A Royal Navy warship picked up a small number of British and American personnel still there and made for Portsmouth, but the ship was torpedoed by a Soviet submarine en route and went down with the loss of all hands. Rumours have persisted ever since that several days before Machrihanish was evacuated a hyper secret US reconnaissance aircraft code named Aurora made an emergency landing at the base and remains hidden there. In particular, one rumour states that the Aurora‟s pilot survived the sinking of the ship and after making it to shore, is living and working on a small farm somewhere on the Kintyre peninsula, near the Mull of Kintyre.
