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.

Aircraft was squaking 7700 code, so apparently had a malfunction before it crashed. Good to see Martin Baker can hand out some certificates again.

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!
