Lucky escape: The original pilot

The original pilot of the ill-fated Hawker Hunter plane had swapped with a colleague to take a holiday in Cambodia, it has emerged. Chris Heames, 62, found out about Saturday’s crash when friends texted asking about his wellbeing. “It could have been me and it could have happened to anybody,” he told Daily Mail. The retired RAF Squadron leader said he flew the same plane at the event last year.
