Red arrow down

[BFA]

Red crashed in Bournemouth , will update asap

[jon93]

On sky news now they say they will update as news comes in hopefully nothing serious.

[BFA]

Saw it happen , did a flypast at the airport and one just sank below the horizon
Merlin was in the air and attended , now coastguard and police choppers up. Bournemouth airport closed.
Sirens everywhere...

Fingers crossed.

Reports on Twitter suggest one jet down at or near Hurn. Grim if true.

[Hurn]

Hoping the pilot is ok.

BBC Crew reportedly asked to cease filming

[Kieran]

Fingers crossed the pilot is safe!

[stuart n]

Witness on BBC news 24 saying that a helicopter is hovering about the crash site. No word on the pilot.

[agdickie]

No discussion as to which Red has gone down until the official statement please.

[jon93]

Not much coming through, just got to sit here and hope. But if bbc were asked to cease filming then.

[Hurn]

The police helicopter has just left the scene.

[Hurn]

Sally B has just landed at Hurn so airport must be open again.

Interview on sky news now. Pilot apparently pulled out of river by passers by, very unclear at the moment.

Fingers crossed it sounds as though pilot has ejected.

[jon93]

Video just been shown on bbc news. Is it me or did the site just go down before.

From the United States, we hope the pilot is safe and not badly injured. I saw the Red Arrows last month at RIAT and wish them all well.

I see the idiots on twitter starting the "stop them flying" campaign allready.

Anyway hope everyone is safe and well!

You are kidding right how on earth can they say that when we don't even know what happened or even if the pilot survived or not, how little respect they have . Just seen a picture on sky looks like an absolute mess.

[Trevster]

Yep, already picked up a couple of people posting speculation as to the pilot's fate the Red's FB page - thankfully they deleted these themselves...

[boff180]

I really do hope the pilot is ok; that is where all our thoughts should be.
