VIDEO: Hawk T.2 jet crashes at RAF Valley

As mentioned in an earlier tweet, @Andyyyyrrrr and I believe this to be Hawk T.2 ZK032 flying as "VYT15". MoD says an investigation has been launched into the cause.

UPDATE: Hawk T.2 Crash at RAF Valley

More video here from @MikeyKayFilms showing the jet's actual take-off and a confirmed fire towards the rear of the airframe. So glad the crew got out safely!

Hawk T.2 "VYT15" ZK032 #43C563

Exclusive: a Hawk T2 getting airborne from RAF Valley, N. Wales. As it rolls down the runway flames appear from the rear of the jet. The Hawk T2 does not have reheat (afterburner). As the jet climbs the flames seem to disappear. The main Hydraulic system is on the rear left side. https://t.co/WafevD2BQg

A Hawk is climbing like it's just remembered an urgent appointment over Dublin. Showy little pigeon with places to be. https://www.tinfoilpigeons.com/over/dublin

A Hawk is descending briskly near Buckley at a most purposeful angle. Either a landing or an extremely committed opinion. Either way: magnificent. https://www.tinfoilpigeons.com/over/buckley

A Hawk is descending rather briskly toward Wallasey with the sort of purposeful intensity that suggests it knows exactly what it is doing. A pigeon with a plan. https://www.tinfoilpigeons.com/over/wallasey
