Red Arrows at airshow after crash where pilot Jon Egging died

The Red Arrows have returned to the Bournemouth airshow where one of their pilots was killed last year.

Flt Lt Jon Egging, 33, of Rutland, died when his Hawk T1 aircraft crashed in a field following a display at the 2011 Bournemouth Air Festival.

Thousands of people watched from the seafront as the formation of seven planes opened this year's show.

The 20-minute display was the RAF aerobatic team's first performance in the Dorset town since the fatal crash.
