Still NO news on the PILOT!

[Jigsaw]

I was looking as well Dave. Really hope all is well.

[Mayfly]

Not a lot to say really is there, I really hope there is a good outcome to this wait for news.

BBC has a video, but no news yet - doesn't look good.

[Yorkie]

There are various posts saying it is red4 and my local news saying 1fatality. I hope not and also hope the mod tell us some good news soon.

The time taken for them to go to press is worrying

It is now confirmed. He lost his life this afternoon . The name of the pilot has not been released until the family have been told. Rest in Peace.

Very very sad if true - BBC still not reporting that news yet - but MOD reported to give a statement within the hour.

[Minty4371]

It has now been confirmed on Sky news and on http://www.bournemouthair.co.uk/
Rest In Peace Sir.

Gutted to hear, read and see this news today.

This is all so sad......

I don't know what to say except
condolences to the family and to
the other Reds.

This has to hurt beyond words.

You know, I think he perhaps
was trying to bring it down away
from doing harm on the ground....

Put a picture of a Red Arrow as your desktop picture on your computer in respect of Red 4. I have. Will you?
