Just been told the news. RIP Jon my thoughts are with you and your family. A very sad day indeed.

Nice poem Goose.

Not mine but a favourite. I started reading it out with a beer when my first friend died in an aviation accident.

After the third it sort of stuck and has become a tradition of mine, to myself, every time I hear about the death of an aviation "mate".

Trouble is I've now read it far too many times.........

RIP Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging my thoughts are with the Family.

This makes me feel a bit sick.

"@HollymarieNorth: Red arrows crash landing has caused an hour delay for our flight. Not impressed"

I am completely shocked and saddened by this terrible tragedy. Only 6 days ago I saw the Reds performing - i'm completely choked

Sad Day for all, my thoughs are with the family and collegues.

Don't shoot me for asking, but does anyone know the reg of the lost airframe?

The reason I ask is that I photographed the aircraft Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging Hawk was flying for the Southport airshow last month airside at Blackpool. It was XX260. On the 7th of August the same aircraft flown by Red 7 declaired a 'PAN' then 'MAYDAY' while displaying at the Blackpool airshow due to Fuel and Hydrolic issues.

Along these lines, I would assume all T1's will be grounded pending investigation?

That incident was due to a major birdstrike I understand and the airframe involved is still at Blackpool and is unlikely to ever fly again, according to reports elsewhere, it has no bearing on todays tragic loss.

RIP RED4
