The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that an RAF pilot has died in a flying accident. The pilot was flying a Typhoon jet when it crashed in Lincolnshire on Monday afternoon.

The pilot's name has not yet been released. However, it is believed that they were a highly experienced pilot with over 1,000 flying hours.

The cause of the crash is not yet known. However, the RAF is investigating the incident.

This is the second fatal RAF flying accident in the past year. In November 2022, an RAF pilot was killed when their F-35 jet crashed into the Mediterranean Sea.
