RAF probe training crash deaths


The crew were flying a Canberra-type aircraft
Accident investigators are trying to determine how two RAF pilots died and another was injured while practising emergency landings at a fighter base.
The accident happened on the runway at RAF Marham, Norfolk, at about 2230 BST on Thursday during landing.

An RAF board of inquiry has been convened and investigators will examine the damaged aircraft, say senior officers at RAF Marham.

Investigators will also speak to the navigator, who survived the crash.

The injured crew member is being treated in hospital after being hurt when ejecting from the aircraft.

Base officials say the two pilots who died were also thought to have attempted to eject
