Red Arrow crashed in bournemouth - RIP hero Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging 33.mp4

Описание: The Red Arrows had just completed a display at the Bournemouth Air Festival when the single-engine jet went out of control as they returned to the seaside town's airport on Saturday afternoon.
Witnesses yesterday told how they found the body of the pilot, known as 'Eggman', face down in the River Stour.

Killed: Jon Egging and Emma Egging on their wedding day last June
His ejector seat and helmet were nearby, while his parachute was also in the water.
Yesterday Flight Lieutenant Egging's grandmother said relatives have been told the pilot may have been unable to eject from the stricken jet because of the huge G-forces encountered when he banked at too sharp an angle.
The pilot managed to set the Hawk on a path away from homes in the nearby village of Throop, and issued a Mayday call and is thought to have been thrown from the wreckage on impact.
Doris Egging, 88, from Southam, Warwickshire, said: 'Jon was a hero but he probably didn't eject because he was unable to after being knocked out.
'I spoke to my son, Jon's father Philip, and he sounded ill. He couldn't take it in.
'I'm told they were coming back at quite a height and this may have sent Jon's plane out of control. Philip was told Jon was higher than he should have been when he banked.
'I would very much believe he would sacrifice his own life to save others, that's the way he was.'
Flight Lieutenant Egging, who grew up in the nearby village of Ufton, joined Southam's Air Training Corps at 13. He was awarded a Royal Air Force bursary while at Southampton University, and joined in 2000.
In 2009 he completed a tour of duty in Afghanistan, flying a Harrier GR9 in support of ground forces. All Red Arrows pilots must complete at least one tour in order to join the elite display team.
