A Royal Air Force (RAF) Hawk T2 trainer aircraft crashed in North Wales on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. Following the crash, the high-speed jet burst into flames and caused plumes of smoke near the RAF Valley base during a training exercise.
Multiple video clips emerged on social media platform X, showing the moment when the two pilots ejected the high-speed aircraft seconds before it crashed. The ongoing exercise was paused following the incident, which occurred when the aircraft was flying out of the RAF Valley base in Anglesey, AFP reported.
