Re: Hawk Incident - Culdrose
From the press reporting
The Ministry of Defence said in a statement: "Two pilots are being checked by medics after ejecting from a Royal Navy Hawk aircraft from 736 Naval Air Squadron during a flight from RNAS Culdrose. An investigation will begin in due course. We won't be providing further detail at this time."
Please don't speculate on here. Wait for facts from the MOD.

What a relief they seem to be ok.
They are never far from danger.

Aircraft was squaking 7700 code, so apparently had a malfunction before it crashed. Good to see Martin Baker can hand out some certificates again.
Re: Hawk Incident - Culdrose
Veterans minister and Plymouth MP Johnny Mercer has stated that the Hawk had suspected engine failure.

Re: Hawk Incident - Culdrose
Great that both got out and no-one on the ground was hurt either. Seems that the Navy have deciding to start scrapping their Hawks earlier than expected!
