To the families and friends of four very brave men: The thoughts of every military aviator are with you tonight and will remain with you in the long days ahead.

Another dreadfully sad day. No words can express my total sadness for these four brave guys.
May God bless you all and may his grace be with your family and friends left behind. You will not be forgotten, and you have not died in vain.
God Bless
Mr & Mrs Swiniging Monkey

Another very, very sad day.

The Dixon family offer our thoughts and prayers to those who lost their life in the line of duty, and our heartfelt thanks and respect to those who stood fast in the most extreme of situations.

A candle has been lit in remembrance of those who were lost today.

My sincere condolances to the crew, their family and friends. A tragedy for everyone. God bless.

My thoughts are with the fine chaps and chapesses in the god foresaken dump.
With thought and compassion, Mr and Mrs D

It's not the people we do our duty for that bind us together, it's the people we do it with.
There are some good lads waiting up there, in the big bar in the sky, with a cold beer for you guys who left us today. We'll all be in some day. Get us one in.
Gone but never forgotten.
RIP lads

Rest In peace guys

Rest In Peace
 

My most heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those who perished today. Though I do not not yet know the names of those involved, I am sure in the fulness of time when they are published, I will find they are former colleauges, as I know many of the guys there now, and do not look forward to hearing exactly who it is.

To the families - I know it is of little consolation to those who need it, but those there were doing a fine job, in a world that many will never know exists, with very little thanks or reward. These men have paid the ultimate price, and made the ultimate sacrifice, for which they were ready and prepared to do. That is what bravery really is. It is the man who asks for no reward, who for whatever reason can take the risk to do the job, playing his role in a bigger plan, putting another cause before his own, prepared to suffer for another and knowing the danger and potential outcome. Rest assured they will have lived more in their short lives than some could ever do in 10. They will not be forgotten, and their memories will live on with their families, friends and units long after the rest of us have gone to pasture.

Rest in Peace - we will see you all again.

RIP aviators, may your wings take you to a better place.

RIP guys.

Tonight my thoughts are for your families and friends.

My deepest condolences to the families, the Army Air Corps, and the British Military at large.

Good to see the guys pulling together, colour of uniform irrelevant.

My teeth are clenched, jowls vibrating and spine tingling. I might be out, I might live elsewhere, but by God I am proud of you all. God speed to Her Majesty's Armed Forces, wherever you serve.

Sincerest condolences to all involved. :(

Edit: and a heartfelt well done for the restraint shown by those facing the aftermath on the ground. (Just seen the BBC footage)

Be you Green, Dark blue or Light blue.

Whilst we have lost our brothers, we have not lost our brethren.

A man of the the air will always be an airman.

"They are not dead but sleeping"

May airmen around the world will share the same sentiment.



Per Ardua Ad Astra.

Again, Talk Wrench and Mrs Talk Wrench send our heartfelt condolences to those who died and for those who have to pick up the pieces.


We will do all we can to help.

God Speed to those men.

Talk Wrench.

RIP, I will have a large malt in your memory. God Bless.
