Terribly sad news. My thoughts yet again are with family, friends and colleagues. I know everyone was pulling for good news. There is nothing I can say to relieve the pain for what is an awful tragedy. All my thoughts.

Terribly sad news. Heart felft condolences to all involved.

What makes it that little bit more poingnant is that both aircraft were from XV sqn (OCU) and were more than likely crewed by young student pilot's/wso's.

Such a terrible loss and a waste of great talent.

RIP.

Now flying a desk but an ex GR1 nav by trade and still at heart. Deepest condolences to all on XV and, especially, all families and friends. Particular wishes to the hospitalised crewman for a full and speedy physical and mental recovery.

Very sad news to learn the names of those involved in this tragic incident. I knew Hywel Poole at Linton and enjoyed a beer or two with him. My thoughts and prayers are with all family, friends and staff at Lossie. RIP

RIP fellas one and all

I met Sam Bailey 10 years ago when he and Fi were first married. If you read this Fi - my most heartfelt condolences should the worst be confirmed...

My most sincere condolences to all the families and friends - and 'Best of British' to the survivor in hopsital.

To those left to carry on - the military has an odd but effective greiving process that helps ease the pain, as I am sure you are discovering. Having experienced that shock in the past (and remembering it only too well), you will remain grateful for the many friends around you at this sad time; united in grief and united going forward. I am sure all on the sqn will pull together and stand tall.

RIP chaps
