RAF pauses Hawk training after jet crash investigation begins

The Royal Air Force has temporarily paused training on its Hawk jets while an investigation into a crash is under way, BBC News reports. The pause applies to training involving the aircraft type. The RAF’s statement, as supplied, describes the suspension as temporary and links it directly to the investigation.

The report’s title says video footage provides information about the crash, but the available material does not describe what the footage shows. It also does not give the location or date of the incident, identify the aircraft involved or state whether the jet was being used for training at the time. No information is supplied about the pilots, injuries, damage or possible cause.

The RAF has not, in the material provided, indicated how long the pause will last or what findings would be needed before training resumes.
