red arrowe has crashed

[Guest]

Always amazes me how these guys can function when all around them is falling apart. To have the where withall to guide the stricken Red Arrow away from houses is more than brave....

Along with thousands of others I always enjoy watching the Red Arrows, and I guess due to their exemplary safety record you don't realise how dangerous the job is.

They make me proud to be British, which doesn't happen much nowadays I tell you.

RIP Flt Lt Jon Egging and my thoughts go out to your family.

RIP Red 4 and keep looking over your mates with a smile. I wouldnd'nt be suprized if the MOD say it was mechanical failure.

Graham. Watching the video of the crash and reading the eye whitnesses accounts i would say it was engine failure/birdstrike. At the end of the day it doesn't mater what it was. Red 4 gave his life to save others on the ground. RIP Red 4
