just read this on the web, crew did a good job staying with the plane, according to the other source.

Mixed reports, I herd earlier this afternoon not long after it happened that the pilot ejected into the river and walkers pulled him out, but sadly also just herd that the pilot was thrown from the aircraft on impact and unfortunately died :(

Re: Red Arrow down
 

They have a pilot and a navigator, so maybe the navigator ejected :confused:

MOD website reports the sad death of Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging, Eggman to his friends and colleagues. RIP Red4
:-(

Re: Red Arrow down
 

For what they do, they've a good safety record, and this sounds like machinery failure?

RIP Eggman you gave a lot of folk, a lot of pleasure

Re: Red Arrow down
 

I thought the Hawk Trainer was a single seater? Plus there would be little or no need for a navigator.

I stand to be corrected though.

Re: Red Arrow down
 

The red arrows do have 2 seats. Whether they use them all the time is another thing though.
There was no report of any ejection yet.
