More sad news for THe RED ARROWS.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 11-08-2011 10:11

News has just been released of another death among the Red Arrows team.
It seems that a member of the team ejected whilst still on the tarmac at Scampton.
I hope that we can all spend a little time in thought for all those concerned.
The information as far as it goes can be found here.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...-accident.html

The only info so far is that he ejected on the ground and the shute failed. An investigation is underway. There is some talk about the ejector seats having had problems before, but nothing confirmed as yet.
