The BBC are reporting that two people died in the crash. This is dreadful news, I know that many of us here know the airfield very well, I feel for everyone involved in this awful tragedy.

Awful tragedy.

It's supposed to be the UFC open weekend, this weekend as well. Not sure if it will be affected?
