Love the report - this made me chuckle:
"A witness, Mansell Beard of Willoughby Heath, Ancaster, contacted the Journal and described the plane as a “little white grub”.
Fire crews were called to the scene, which Mr Beard described as “quite peaceful”
Alls well that ends well

Hummingfrog,
In the current climate, I'd be most surprised if the flying was not suspended; at least until the root cause of the accident is determined. Afterall, stopping Tutor flying (for a short time) will have limited (if any) operational impact. I suspect that the boys and girls flying Tutors will have an early (and extended?) Bank Holiday.

Great that it avoided the school, the bicycling nuns and the cats home...shame no one saw the ball of flames nor heard the massive explosion "like a bomb going off"
Ho Hum - Nonetheless there will be calls from Joe Public to stop this military low flying to prevent pregnant cows going into early labour, no doubt.....
