Red arrow crash

A red arrow crashed today coming to land after a display for the bournemouth air show.
The pilot sadly died :cry:. The company I work for hosts them at the airport for the display and they truly amazing people. Sad news indeed :cry:

The pilot made sure the plane came down over a field before trying to use the ejector seat and in doing so put other people before his own life.
Selfless, a proper hero and role model unlike the idiots the TV channels try to cram into our heads from reality TV shows.
