This is just so sad. I'm a CI on my sons ATC squadron and am responsible for arranging the AEF/AEG flying for the unit. I have accompanied the cadets on many occassions and have been lucky enough to fly in both the Tutor and Vigilant.
Whilst that opportunity is rewarding, the real reward comes form seeing the faces of the cadets on their return from a flight, especially those nervous first timers, it is a real pleasure to see.
Condolences to all involved and affected by this tragic accident.
