The Telegraph: Britain calls in French to hunt Russian sub lurking off Scotland
A Royal Navy frigate, HMS Sutherland, and a hunter killer submarine have also been sent on the search.
French patrol planes are scouring the seas off Scotland for a Russian submarine after Britain was forced to call on allies for help because it has scrapped its own sub-hunting aircraft.
A French Atlantique 2 maritime patrol plane has been searching for the submarine for at least 10 days, since the vessel was detected north of Scotland.
A Royal Navy frigate, HMS Sutherland, and a hunter killer submarine have also been sent on the search, amid fears the Russian boat could be trying to spy on a Trident nuclear deterrent sub.
Update: French patrol plane aids UK search for Russian submarine detected off Scottish coast (Independent).
WNU Editor: Another mysterious Russian sub sighting .... and another search that will (I predict) find nothing.

Editor,
I suspect if a search was conducted for the brains of the British political elite it would have much the same result. Unless it was conducted among the shelves holding oatmeal at Budgens that is.
Please do not insult oatmeal.
It's my daily breakfast (mostly
because of my Scots genes).
