Can only echo the sentiments already posted. Out of the loop now and got that awful feeling in the stomach whenever this type of news breaks. Whether it's friends or not, my thoughts are with the families receiving awful news.

What a dreadful end to a bloody dreadful week.
RIP guys. You join a band of very special people whose names and happy memories will live in our hearts forever. Mrs SM and I will raise a glass or two tonight and say a few quiet prayers together before we reflect quietly and remember those we have lost.
Our sincere condolences to the families of those involved in this dreadful accident, and to the friends and colleagues still out there. Be safe everyone.
God Bless

My thoughts and those of Mr CPF are with the families and friends of those lost and injured. It is so sad that yet again we lose a friend and a great person...
Mac, we followed each other from Shawbury around the Sqns and it was always great to fly with you, especially when you kept me laughing in Basra!
RIP Mac you will never be forgotten x

Another sad day that rips the aviation family apart, be it Navy, Army and in this very sad case Air Force. It gets harder and harder to swallow.
My thoughts are with the families right now. RIP guys.
P.S The Swinging Monkey great words buddy.

Very sad news, having enjoyed my time with the excellent people that make up the Puma force I feel a very tangible sense of loss this evening. R.I.P. and condolences from Mrs.Stitch and myself. Gone, but not forgotten - you will always have a place in our thoughts.

Just heard, thoughts and prayers to all. will be hoisting another large drink in memory of more mates doing what they do.
RIP
this will have hit both XX and XXX (censored) sqns hard. When I was on XX we were a very tight team, even more so when they went sandyside.
I hope and pray that they will get the support and help they need.
