From the BBC News website;
"The two aircraft were from the flight training school based at RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire."
and
"Flight lieutenant Alastair Hawes said the planes were on "air experience" flights. Such flights usually feature an RAF instructor alongside someone, usually a young person, who is interested in a military career."
1833: BBC News website says that 4 fatalities were 2 RAF instructors and 2 ATC cadets.
As a cadet myself it is terrible that we have lost 2 people with their whole lives ahead of them, my thoughts go out to their families and friends, and of course to the family and friends of the RAF instructors of course.
