Dead Sparrow

[antarmike]

I see that the Red Arrows have killed * another plane, Red Arrow to Dead Sparrow in the blink of an eye.

 

Fotuntely one pilot unhurt, the other, who ejected, has only dislocated his shoulder.

* plane may be repairable, but is described as "severely damaged after impacting on the runway", that sounds like beyond economic reapir to me!

Heard about in the radio when I woke up.

They said pilot paruchuted to safety with shoulder injury and the aircraft received serious damage.

Fount pictures on the internet, I new The Sun was good for something

However I do believe that it will require some serious polishing to straighten it out.

Also some video of the other plane, that should polish out OK and quick coat of paint.

 

I like the way that an inquiry is being launched to determine the cause of the crash.

I though this was blatently obvious, they head each other.

 

Atleast everbody involved survived.
