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

Rip.

the town of Bournemouth are having a shitty time at the mo, with flash flooding and now a red arrow pilot dying

i had many a great days at Bournemouth as a kid on summer day outs - is the crazy golf still in the gardens

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.

Sad loss, spent a lot of time living near a RAF base and know how well these Pilots train.
