Apparently it just dropped outa the sky when banking to come in for landing, like I said in my post (you beat me to it) this will be the governments excuse to now get rid!
It has crashed about 1/2 mile if that from my house!

A display team is non essential, so I'm surprised they got rid of front line sqn's and kept a display sqn.

Agreed, ive just been for a bit of a mooch, and it sounds like The pilot was having difficulties and he managed to steer away from castlepeoint shopping centre and the housing estates and ejected, but it was too late and they plucked him from the river.

Don't be sorry.

He knows everyone (right up to ACM) and everything.

Like I say, it's 'believed', doesn't mean it's true. Not all information is released yet.
