BBC NEWS | Wales | Four die in mid-air plane crash

"Two RAF trainers and two cadets have been killed in a mid-air crash between two light aircraft near the south Wales coast.

They died near the seaside resort of Porthcawl at around 1100 GMT. Their identities have not been revealed.

The wreckage was spread over about half a mile, with some in sand dunes near Kenfig National Nature Reserve.

The Grob planes were involved in "air experience" flights from RAF St Athan with a training school.

Two separate inquiries are under way into the crash.

"Four members of the RAF family have tragically lost their lives following an accident which took place near Porthcawl just before lunchtime today. Those who died were two members of the RAF and two Air Training Corps cadets. "
"

As someone involved with the ACO, I'm numbed.
