The plane, believed to be from RAF Leuchars, in Fife, hit a hillside in Argyll.

No civilians are understood to have been hurt.

It is not known whether the two people on board - a pilot and a navigator - were able to eject from the aircraft safely.

An ambulance spokeswoman said two crews are at the scene.

A specialist operations team is also on its way.

The Tornado F3 is thought to have come down near a tourist spot known as the Rest And Be Thankful on the A38 Arrochar to Inveraray Road, north west of Loch Lomond.

A Strathclyde police spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that police were called at 11.45am to a report of a plane crash near the Rest And Be Thankful, Arrochar.
