Hi All,

Some record shots of the incident that occurred at RAF Linton-On-Ouse in March 2009.

Tucano ZF344 crashed while Flt Lt Mike Rutland was practicing his display routine for the 2009 air show season. Mike broke his back during the incident and went on to make a full recovery and is now studying to become a dentist! http://insight.wesleyan.co.uk/raf-pilot ... ew-career/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Cheers!
