Farage in air crash

[Parrot of Doom]

Apparently ok, but injured. Circling to land in Buckinghamshire apparently. Pilot is being cut out.

Did the missile have the EU emblem on it ?

[Jasandjules]

Woops. He seems like a nice bloke (from his Have I Got News For You stuff anyways), hope all is well for everyone involved.

[Evil Jack]

Reports on Twitter say the UKIP banner became entangled with the plane's tail fin!


Hope everyone's OK.

It's on Sky News, and they are also reporting the banner got caught in the engine.

Ensuring that they do not go against orders and give anyone but The Squeaker some sympathy.

why the surprise? The BBC website is one of the slowest for any 'news'.

[Pickled Piper]

Shot down by a Eurofighter Typhoon perhaps?

Seriously, hope he's OK.

The man and his party are an essential part of UK politics.

It looks like the banner caught around tailplane leading to loss of pitch control.

Highly unlikely the banner could get caught around the engine.

Both Farage and the pilot seem to have been very, very lucky.
