Really, as headline currently.

A scummy tabloid posted pics of it.

Confirmed to be an RAF Aircraft by the RAF.

It was IDed but given the lack of info on cas, I didn't think it was the thing to do.

Unfortunately RAF have confirmed that the pilot was killed in the crash.
Fair winds, blue skies.

Absolutely terrible news. Rest in Peace.

This is terribly sad news, the aircraft has been identified and is easily searchable for those who wish to.

Some reports saying the aircraft suffered an engine failure shortly after take-off, it then came down in a field and flipped over.

RIP to the pilots family,colleagues and friends.
