AN ENGINEER had died after a Red Arrows jet crashed, the Ministry of Defence has said.
It follows an incident at RAF Valley in north Wales.
"We are aware of an incident today at RAF Valley involving a Hawk aircraft," a Ministry of Defence spokesman said.
"We are investigating the incident and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage."
It is understood there were two people on board the jet.
The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that the pilot of the plane survived the crash.
However, military bosses say a Red Arrows Engineer has died following the crash.
