    Very sad news to hear that one of the Red Arrows crashed just after a display at Bournemouth Airshow yesterday. The Red Arrows have given mliions of people a lot of pleasure over the years with their displays so very sad news indeed. Eye witnesses seem to think he steered the plane out of harms way but was too late to save his own life.

    R I P Flight Lieutanant Jon Egging my thougts are with your family ,friends and colleagues.

    Terrible news. I'm from Lincolnshire so obviously they're based just round the corner from me. See them flying over most of the time.

    Gutted to be honest. Probably prevented quite a bit of damage and any more lost lives by steering his plane out of the way though.

    I was on holiday on Cornwall last week and saw them flying over us en route to a display.

    Chilling to think that one of the guys I saw is now dead.

    Very sad.

    Seen the Red Arrows once at Southport air show, absolutely amazing bunch. I know they usually change the Pilots ever year, but over all they are fantastic and extremely skilled.

    RIP.

    What happened exactly?
    Was it a mechanical fault?

    That's one hot widow. When is it socially acceptable to offer the comfort shag?
