RAF jet crash at island airfield
« on: April 21, 2007, 12:03:57 AM »
An RAF jet has crashed at an airfield on Anglesey, shortly after take-off from the airforce base at Valley.

The pilot ejected during the incident at the Mona airfield involving an RAF Hawk aircraft at 1225 BST.

He was the only person on board the two-seater jet and was flown to hospital in Bangor but later discharged.

An eye witness said he saw the pilot land in trees and his seat end up in a nearby field.
