The two pilots who died in an aircraft crash on last Saturday in England have been identified.
25-year-old Ajvir Singh Sandhu and his fellow RAF student, 21-year-old Cameron Forster died when their aircraft crashed in a remote field in the West Midlands region of England on last Saturday.
"We were very saddened to hear of the deaths of Aj Sandhu and Cam Forster in a civilian flying accident at the weekend. They were both exceptionally talented young men in the prime of their lives. The thoughts of everyone at RAF Linton-on-Ouse are with their family and friends at this difficult time," said Group Captain Ian Laing, the station commander at Royal Air Force Linton-on-Ouse was quoted in Guardian.
Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) investigators are probing the cause of the crash.
