Just heard this myself, but nothing about if it was civil or mil, or how serious it is.

Fingers crossed nobody was injured.

Six appliances from Norfolk Fire Service are currently in attendance, including four pumps, a water carrier and an environmental protection unit.

If it is a PAVE HAWK then God bless the pilots and PJs that have just lost their lives - they are some of the bravest aviators I've ever had the honour to meet.

Perhaps the OP can amend the title now details have emerged?

RIP fellow aviators. That others may live.

Unfortunately it won't amend. The main title a Mod will need to do it.

Blue Skies, some of the bravest guys out there are in the Pave Hawk community.

Spent some time with this unit on a recent Safety Day at Lakenheath; some very impressive boys and girls operating a very impressive piece of kit.

RIP

Why oh why do the uninformed public always hear the engine "misfiring" just before an aircraft crashes?

BBC reporting this morning that the Police are conducting the investigation, idiots.
Norfolk Police Superintendent briefing the press on TV this morning calling it a "Parva Hawk", if they were conducting the investigation I would fear for the outcome.

It's bad enough people losing their lives, but please let's respect them by at least getting basic facts correct.
