"A service inquiry will be convened to identify the cause of the crash," a spokesman added. Probably because they were flying a few metres apart.

merckx Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 When I see them at the British GP I always wonder if it's just a matter of time before this would happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 They have had a few incidents over the years but not many. We get pretty blasé seeing them flying over here all the time in their thigh-partingly dashing manner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 My sister and I were on a day trip to Brighton with my nan and grandad the day, in 1980, that one of the Red Arrows crashed into the sea. It wasn't a pretty sight at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Latest rumour is, probably doing the syncro pass, one hit the bottom of the other, one guy banged out and dislocated his shoulder, the other jet landed with half its fin missing and part of the tailplane also missing. No doubt Ill get some pics through lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Just seen a pic on the news channel. The tail fin is missing on one of the jets Hope the pilots are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Some footage has emerged now. My goodness, the pilot must've ejected instantly! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8586114.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
