Aside from Vulcan's wild speculations (note, never speculate on whether or not someone is alive or dead, what if someone here knows this person?) why were the civillian police called? Is accident investigation 'on-base' not carried out by the MoD?

The civil police have primacy in all matters. Usually however they cede that to the military police. They usually only retain primacy when there may be criminal issues - not for one minute suggesting that is the case here but the Puma at Catterick and the GR4 flight test from Marham are examples where the investigation revealed possible criminal issues and so civil police maintained primacy.
At this stage it is wrong to speculate and comment with ill informed data - it will ony serve to upset and annoy.
Thoughts and prayers with you, the team, friends who know you and your family.

You can't help yourselves, can you? I heard this; this is what a mate said; must be MDC... etc etc.
Shut the heck up and wait for official confirmation. These threads are so unbelievably tedious.

Have just seen a senior officer (Group Captain) formally announcing this dreadful event. The ramifications for the Team will be tremendous in many many ways No names given as the family have requested a period of grace to try and come to termas with this awful news. The team's professionalism will now be sorely tested, but I have no doubt that they will deal with it in their own way. One question, I see that the team website shows Kirsty Stewart as the Team Manager. Is this Kirsty Moore.?
