Ident of fixed wing aircraft involved clearly visible on BBC News photo (not allowed to post links yet but check out the BBC News website).
Looks like the earlier poster was right. Similarly, the helicopter previously mentioned was crossing the same spot on FR24 and suddenly stopped. Very sad.

Indeed. The first question that seems to get asked on here, or the first opinion points at weather. The visibility today was perfect so it seemed worth mentioning before anybody not local asked or looked it up.

A 152, G-WACG was overhead at about the same time, unless it just stayed below coverage altitude for the remainder of its flight

Fingers crossed for survivors

It's notamed as a DANGER Area
not a Prohibition nor a Restriction
(the danger being midair collision presumably)
there is a warning PILOTS ARE FURTHER WARNED THAT ACTION MAY BE TAKEN ATANY TIME TO IMPOSE RESTRICTIONS OF FLYING REGULATIONS UNDER ARTICLE239
and a request (understandably) not to overfly
very sad for all concerned

Fixed wing aircraft have such a limited field of view, you don't want to end up near and beneath one. They will never see you so best to keep far away and to let them know you are around.
Hope they get to see another day, sounds like such a avoidable situation.
Training flights gone wrong?

I think we are at the point where we need TCAS ( or similar ) mandatory . The skies will only get more crowded with the airspace grab and we will have more and more pinch points . A very very sad day for us all .
