Some of the tabloid coverage of this sad event is a bit inflammatory:

Tucano planes are used by the RAF to perform displays at airshows and also to train jet pilots.
Others have mentioned 'stunt flying' and seek to make a link to the Shoreham crash. But then I guess there's not much journalistic interest in 'two die in crash, no one else involved'. It's a pity though that they feel the need to stir up controversy over a tragic accident.

RIP chaps.
