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

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

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

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.

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.
