Conversation overheard on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai ..
 
Iranian Air Defence Site:   'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'  
Aircraft:
   'This is a British aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'  
Air Defence Site:
   'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'  
Aircraft:
   'This is a Royal Air Force GR4 Tornado fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'  
Air Defence Site:
   ( .... total silence)  
I love the RAF
