Very Accurately presented row 12f.
I was also there yesturday and had a clear view of the entire incident.it didn`t sink in then but after a bit of thought it has depressed me a bit. I live 10 mins from biggin and have been every year for the last 12 years. Its very upsetting for this to happen. i`m 18 and a hopeful commercial pilot.people have asked me whether this sort of thing puts me off but i say it gives you determination to reach your goal and prove to people that aviation is safe and wonderful. The risk is there but it is not of primary concern to people when flying. Do you guys out there think i`m right in thinking this? views would be appreciated.

may god bless the 3 display pilots that died for all of their work and pleasure they gave to audiences world-wide while they were alive and may they rest in peace.

my respects go out to

The unknown pilot of the king cobra (please correct me if his name has been realeased)

Retired Air Marshal sir Ken Hayr
Co-pilot Jonathon Kerr
(the two pilots from biggins saturday vampire crash)

and on another note
Gordan and Jennifer Gray who also died yesturday when their light aircraft hit a mountain in Italy

I hope you all join me in paying respects to these brave people

thanks
