- The Hawk T2 crashed near Pencarnisiog on Anglesey on Wednesday after both pilots ejected shortly beforehand.
- According to Gp Capt Gez Currie, the aircraft would have been directed toward ground believed open, avoiding built-up areas.
- Both pilots suffered minor injuries, are in hospital and are expected to make a full recovery.
- The RAF paused Hawk T1 and T2 flying as a precaution; a formal investigation is underway, and the Hawk squadron at RAF Leeming also paused.
The aircraft would have been aimed in a direction that the pilot believed was open field, in order to avoid built-up areas and anybody on the ground.— Gp Capt Gez Currie, Station Commander, speaking about the Anglesey crash.
