Someday we will know, where the pilots go
When their work on earth is through.
Where the air is clean, and the engines gleam,
And the skies are always blue.
They have flown alone, with the engine's moan,
As they sweat the great beyond,
And they take delight, at the awesome sight
of the world spread far and yon.

Yet not alone, for above the moan, when the earth is
out of sight,
As they make their stand, He takes their hand,
and guides them through the night.
How near to God are these men of sod,
Who step near death's last door?
Oh, these men are real, not made of steel,
But He knows who goes before,

And how they live, and love and are beloved,
But their love is most for air.
And with death about, they will still fly out,
And leave their troubles there.
He knows these things, of men with wings,
And He knows they are surely true.
And He will give a hand, to such a man
'Cause He's a pilot too.

RIP Jon Eggin

I have just found out about this terrible accident and am totally in shock. I spent 5 years on the Team and flew many fantastic and thrilling hours in the back seat as a Circus member. My thoughts and sincere condolences go out to Jon's family, friends and also to the Team who I know must all be devastated. RIP Sir.

Gutted..........RIP Eggman, all who served with you on IV(AC) and RAFAT are thinking of you and Your family.

 

[Tashy_Man]

Have just heard this terrible news. Saw the Reds perform last month at Lossie and they were as good as always.

RIP........you maybe gone but you'll never be forgotten

As much as we love to hate them, it's a sad loss for the RAF.

RIP.

Couldn't have put it better myself. According to reports Flt Lt Egging steered the stricken frame away from houses but left it too late to save himself. When you pause to think about that it is an incredible, amazing sacrifice.

Respect well and truly earned. RIP Sir.

I saw the news yesterday and hoped for the best, alas it was not to be. Airframes can be replaced but not pilots. Condolences to his family.
