Red Arrows collision (Merged)
Red Arrows collision
BBC 24 reporting collision over Cyprus - one 'pilot' in hospital after baling out, other a/c involved landed safely. Here's hoping no second crewman in lost a/c, or if there was there's another survivor.

Oops!
It seems that 2 mods were merging the last 2 threads on this topic at EXACTLY the same time and have totally confused the wiggly amps, so that the redirects are going into what seems to be a closed loop and neither of the old threads is now available.
So, feel free to post what you did before in here.

DefenceNet just posted that the number of aircraft that were involved in the accident were 2. Initially it posted the number of aircraft involved was 3. According to this site there was only one ejection. The other pilot managed to land his aircraft. The Red Arrows team has been at the Kastelli Air Base since yesterday and was scheduled to be there until 31/03.
Reportedly the pilot who ejected has been seriously injured. No fatalities have been reported.
Edit: According to another report the injuries of the pilot who ejected are not threatening.
The pilot ejected at low altitude while over the runway. There were no injuries on the ground as a result of the crash.

Worrying thing is that they Op from Cyprus at this time of year. Lets hope it isn't one the two new members of the team. My thoughts are with the team.

At least is didn't happen during the airshow season. Many more could be affected. This is exactly why they go through such demaning training.
Let's hope there isn't a big backlash with this one. Best wishes to the team.

as far as I have it
1 of the 2 aircraft and the rest of the Team landed safely while the other has crashed into the sea - pilot ejected safely and is now in hospital with a dislocated shoulder.

BOAC:Having zoomed the pic of the jet, it looks remarkably as if 252 is having a really bad time, no matter what colour it is painted.
You can almost hear it saying "oh no, here we go again...."
