Interesting. Greg Hurst's crash (Jan 99), actually a mid-air collision, was in a TTTE jet. We were both instructors there at the time. I was one of his pall-bearers. RiP m8.
Wasn't it John Towl? Again, I was there at the time. Student pilot aborted from low level in poor weather, got the recovery wrong leaving the burners in and became disoriented. John ejected them but was outside seat limits.
Perhaps it's only RAF jets on the poster.
