A very sad day. My thoughts go to the friends and family of both the crew. Thoughts also to those on course.

Just makes you take a moment and think that life could be taken away at any moment.

Rest in Peace gentlemen.

My thoughts are with the families now.

Having been the victim of the press sensationalising a story and releasing it earlier than their facts should have allowed it is disgusting that they continue to strive to be the first to release... I wonder if they ever think about how many families are affected by these tactics?
Any 'dirty' journalists reading these pages rather than getting the real story, please hoist onboard.

shocked. :sad:
my thoughts are with the family of the two crew and also for the cse members at this sad time.
rest in peace.

Sad news, gutted and dreading the names being released. Condolences to those loved ones in distress tonight.

Sad News
 

Having taught on courses that use the area it is a tragic day for all concerned especially the families. My thoughts are with them all

A good friend and colleague died along with his instructor after a wire strike in a Gazelle several years ago - not long into our career.

It was the first time I had encountered it, sadly not the last; the pain never lessens.

My thoughts go out to the relatives and the colleagues of those who died today.

RIP

The mil helo world is a small one and an event such as this drives home our mortality. A sad loss - my thoughts to those close to this.

sad day for all involved thoughts with the family.

C4 news saying its a squirrel but showing videos of Lynx :ugh:

I gather this one was Middle Wallop based.

From my point of view, and not to take anything away from the point of the thread, I was purely posting what had been released on the BBC news site at the time. I have tried correcting my error, however the post title doesn't seem to want to change. Apologies for any offence caused.

My thoughts and deepest sympathy to the families of the crew involved in this tragic accident.

RIP.

Deepest condolences.
RIP Brothers

It's a tragedy and my thoughts are with the families tonight. It never gets any easier to hear the news of fatalities, choked!

RIP fellow aviators.

My sympathies to friends and family.

I hated flying in the Squirrel more than any other aircraft.

So sorry to hear this terrible news and my thoughts go to the families and friends involved. A message shared by all Army pilots I am sure.
