"The pilots were Hylton Price from Bridgend and Andrew Marsh from Vale of Glamorgan"

No mention of Rank or Sqn though.

Oh no!

I've played tennis with Hylton, he was in Saudi with my old man. The world is just far too small.

The younger guy was just promoted to Flt Lt.

The older guy was a Flying Officer (retired)

Hylton was one of life's genuinely nice people, as is his wife, Mavis, who coached me to play good tennis. Such a sad day.

RIP.

So sad.

My thoughts are with the families and friends of the four casualties.

Still, I hope the programme lives on, and many more youngsters get to experience the thrills of flight.

I hope to take my kids up sometime soon.

Saw a couple of these flying in formation a few weeks ago and remember thinking how fun it must be. This puts things into perspective. RIP and condolences to the families.
