A Red Arrows pilot has been taken to hospital after a mid-air crash between two planes during a training exercise in Crete.

The pilot ejected from the aircraft following the collision over Hellenic Air Force Base in Kastelli during a pre-season exercise.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman confirmed the pilot had been taken to hospital.

Another member of the RAF aerobatic team, based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, landed safely.

The RAF said an investigation into the cause of the crash would be carried out.

Pilot doesn't look that bad judging he has a mid-air collision and punched out of a jet at probably low level... all things considered he could be much worse...

As far as injuries go, he's really just fine. It's insane that he lived. First the Russian jet and now this...fate is smiling on aviation recently.
