I do not know if there was there was a similar accident involving a Tornado.
As for the general issue of images of accidents..many will have accidentally come across the really unpleasant images from the recent self drive car accident, we have all seen and no doubt will continue to see through various outlets countless replays of various high profile aviation and other accidents in the coming months and years. TBH I’m a bit uneasy at the “naming and shaming” going on in some of the previous posts...like it or not it is the world we now live in.
Wiggy, the autopsy showed he had a stroke.
