I was watching the airshow from a field at the eastern end of the runway. The vampire was approaching the runway to follow the Vixen and during this manoeuvre flight became unstable and the aircraft impacted the ground approx 200 feet away from me in the same field.

The whole experience was sickening as it was so close I felt the impact in the ground and smelled the kerosene. Even more horrible is to learn on pprune that 2 crew were on board. Let's have our thoughts with their families and their unimaginable grief right now.
