Reminds me of that story Ron Schreck told us at Stanton's last year...

FIGHTER CREW HELPS KING AIR
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/607-full.html#191907)
There are times when having an Air Force fighter track you down and form
up on your wing is a good thing. The crew of a King Air lost all of its
instruments except the altimeter on approach to Glasgow last week.
Unfortunately, the British weather was living up to its reputation and
finding an airport, let alone landing there, was out of the question. A
nearby Royal Air Force Tornado crew heard the chatter and was summoned
to help. The aerial ballet that followed took almost two hours before
its happy ending. The fighter formed up on the King Air and used hand
signals (the unspecified failure also knocked out the radios).
