RAF pauses fighter jet training after two pilots eject and parachute out of plane in Anglesey before crash

North Wales Police says the pilots of the aircraft are being treated for minor injuries

High-speed Hawk fighter jet training has been "temporarily" paused as a "precautionary measure", the RAF has said, after two of its pilots ejected and parachuted out of their plane moments before it crashed, narrowly missing homes.

North Wales Police said the pilots, who had been flying a training aircraft, were being treated for minor injuries.

Eye witnesses described how the plane came down near village homes, with debris ending up near a caravan site.

The footage shows a plume of smoke and fire erupting as the aircraft hits the ground, appearing to narrowly miss residential properties.

The BBC understands the Red Arrows, based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, are included in the pause as the aerobatics display team use the T1.

Richard Owen, owner of Afallon Caravan Park, told the Daily Mail, external how the tail section of the plane "must have blown off" before ending up next to one of his caravans.

"But then I heard a second bang and I saw the fire and flames," he said.

"I saw the parachutes come down so I assumed they [pilots] were fine," he said.
