Another brave pilot lost....My simpathys to all the family's involved in this Terrable air crash.

Dreadful, dreadful news.

The first civil deaths at least on the ground since 1952 at an air show.

Thoughts to all involved.
In memory of a very dear friend - Mike Pearson

Very fond memories of Robbie Gilvary - DTs 1st Vulcan Captain who taught DT all he knew.
