Always sad to see.
An RAF Red Arrows pilot died when his plane crashed following a display at the Bournemouth Air Festival in Dorset.
Flt Lt Jon Egging, 33, from Rutland, was killed when his Hawk T1 aircraft - Red 4 - crashed about 1km south east of Bournemouth Airport at 13:50 BST.
Eyewitnesses described seeing the plane plunge to the ground in a field near the River Stour at Throop village.
It was one of nine Red Arrows aircraft that had earlier taken part in a display over the seafront.

Heard he stayed with the plane to avoid a populated area.
Very tragic news

Boom! Leman Russ Commander

I wonder if he was a pilot that was part of the show over Whitby.
A certainly honourable move to stay with the plane to avoid injury to the public and know that your life is about to end.
Very brave.
