Firstly best wishes to the pilot, hopefully OK as can be.

Turns out that the plane crash also caused an incident on the road. I wonder if that will be used to justify another speed camera in Oxfordshire? Would be interesting to see if an even more bizarre case than the suicidal bridge jumper is going to be used as justification.

If that jet had been sticking to the limit, this would never have happened

"The off-duty policeman was driving along the A4260 when the drama happened at around 5pm.

Eyewitnesses enjoying an early evening drink in the sunshine at the Sturdy's Castle pub, just 150 yards from the crash site, recalled hearing a low-flying jet scream overhead before its engines cut out, crashed and exploded in a fireball.

The single-seater Harrier is believed to have crashed, hit a wall and careered over a ditch on to the road, with flying debris hitting the car or forcing it to spin and crash."
