Oh no - hope they both ejected safely
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.

Current situation is bbc as at 16.14 Is the crew have been killed in the crash from reports earlier 2 aircraft 1 high 1 low over the hill hit top crew didn't eject as far as can find out .still trying to discover which Squadron.

Edit to add It was a 43 Sqadron aircraft ,no details of crew as familys have requested 24 hour grace before details released.

corectionb to the above.From footage shown on the news it appears more like they hit the side of the hill about half way up.

Can fully understand that.

Groundcrew/Techies get really attatched to the pilots and the airframe.. they seem to 'bond' with them.
