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

Fingers crossed nobody was injured.

US Pave Hawk most likely from Lakenheath

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.

Done.

Very sad news.

NutLoose 7th Jan 2014 22:03

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?

Deepest Norfolk 8th Jan 2014 08:13

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.
:(
