WITH regard to the accident to a Tucano aircraft at Linton-on-Ouse, the Royal Air Force has display pilots, not stunt pilots.
I would also like to point out the excellent safety record of this aircraft. In ten years of operation, I believe this is only the second time an ejector seat has been used.
