Just heard that his private jet has had a serious accident with him and his wife and children on board.
Initial reports they all got off safely but aircraft is a total loss. Not seen anything on BBC etc yet.

Don't think so. The report said 2 pilots and Dale and family escaped plus another pax.

Initial report released, the pilots made a hard landing on a fairly short runway and tried for a go around but failed for some unknown reason to get back in the air so ended up trying to stop instead with <1000' remaining, they put the aircraft down hard and a couple of bounces broke the main gear and they slid off the runway. Very, very lucky.
