Two Red Arrows jets collide in mid-air

The two Hawk jets were said to have touched during an “opposition manoeuvre” in which one aircraft flies like a mirror image of another.
One of the jets’ rudders was damaged and Flt Lt Mike Ling, 30, was forced to eject and parachute to safety from a height of around 1,000ft (300m).

glad to hear he ejected!

No kidding Mario! The ship can be replaced! Wishes for a speedy recovery Loo!!!

Glad hes ok. Just me but I think they need to swap out the older a/c for more recent ones. I think 30+ years old for an acrobatic aircraft is pushing it.

I am glad he was ok....

I met them when they came awhile back, they were very nice people. I'm glad to hear everything came out alright.
