I just heard on BBC Radio news that a Red Arrows Hawk forced landed at Jersey Airport. Both crew members are unhurt. No further details as yet.

This is all I can find so far. Seems he ran off the runway.

Well, I don't normally assume anything until the facts are known. It's possible he had a tyre blow out or something. Whatever the cause, I bet someone is for the high jump. LOL
