Just heard that one of the Red Arrows has crashed near Bournemouth airport,no news on the pilot yet fingers crossed he or she is ok
its the shoreham air show today so i have been watching planes flying over head all day. there have been a lot of jets and there was an amazing white plane that just went over that looked like a transformer. air shows always scare me. i hope the red arrow pilot got out ok
A crying shame, the pilot Flt Lt Jon Egging died in the crash http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/8713429/Red-Arrows-pilot-killed-in-crash.html
This is very sad. I've been watching the Red Arrows since when they use to fly Gnats. They're bloody brave to do what they do and it's tragic when this happens.
I was canoeing around Poole harbour and seem the plumes of smoke from the crash. They looked amazing flying over us before the crash. Weird thing is we we down there last Sunday doin the same thing paddling around and they flew over us with all the smoke goin. Thought go out to his family. Seem them a few times at the balloon fiesta and it amazes me how close and quick they fly around.
