Breaking: RAF Hawker trainer crashed in Anglesey, Wales. First reports state the two aboard ejected safely. Updates when possible. AEROIN 📹Scope Report

@aero_in Narrowly avoided the local primary school!

@aero_in Sh*** That could have gone much worse!

@Piloto_Steve @aero_in Perspective. It was a good distance from that building at impact.

@OnDisasters @Piloto_Steve @aero_in Luck is the only thing distancing them

It is indeed, but looking at the jet, I don’t think the crew had any control, so you bang out hoping saving yourself and having 2 less casualties in the end. A crew are of course much more likely to stay with it over a built up area…but ultimately you may have to take the option.

@aero_in

@aero_in Hawk.

@aero_in

@aero_in Relieved to hear both crew members got out safely that's what the ejection seat is there for. Hoping for a swift and thorough investigation into the cause.

@F111Driver @aero_in * Hawk not Hawker

@aero_in surely not a Hawker Hunter?

@aero_in My goof. It was a "Hawk"

@aero_in I thought "They cant still be using Hunters, cant they?" and then I thought that would have been two Hunter crashes in as many days.
