Red Arrows team member dies

The BBC has announced the death this weekend of Jon Egging, a member of the Royal Airforce Display Team, also known as Red Four whose plane crashed in a field while taking part in the Air Festival. He had only been in the team for one year, but described this during our interview with him as “the best job in the world.”

We interviewed the Red Arrows when they visited Edinburgh in June. Flt Lt Egging is on the left of our photograph, and our interview is reproduced here. Fl Lt Egging speaks just after 55 seconds. You can see our other photographs here.
