molly44 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 A member of Red Arrows air crew is believed to have been injured in an incident on the ground at the world-famous aerobatics team's base. Medical services were called to RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire after the incident involving one of the display team's Hawk T1 aircraft, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said. The MoD said the aircraft was not airborne at the time but would not confirm the condition of the crew member involved. An MoD spokesman said: "I can confirm there has been an incident at RAF Scampton. The RAF are investigating and will provide more details when they are available."

Halibut Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 It's now confirmed that the pilot has now died. And what a fearful way to go. Ejected on the ground and parachute failed to deploy. How sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
