It’s so upsetting that he’s there doing a display, not knowing he is going to die in less than half an hour :( RIP. X

I watched all the shows from when I was born and I was one when this show was on so I can't remember any of it!My dream is to be an RAF pilot but I doubt it will happen as it takes years of studying and even more to fly in a red arrow

Jon’s plane shouldnt have crashed. If it weren’t for his plane he’d still be alive. RIP.
