He was the first Red Arrow pilot to die due to a crash in 33 years.

Such a sad day

Very sad, sounds like he tried to steer it away from houses and people on his way down as well

Very sad indeed. Saw them on display a month ago and met a few of the 'blues', so was even more shocked to see this on the news earlier. They weren't saying anything about the pilot at the time but it was pretty obvious.
