Narrative:A Grob 115E Tutor aircraft, G-BYXR, operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF), was undertaking a cadet air experience flight from RAF Benson. The visibility was good and the aircraft was conducting aerobatics, in uncontrolled airspace, when it collided with a Standard-Cirrus glider G-CKHT.
The left wing of the Tutor struck the fin of the glider causing the tail section to break away. The glider pilot parachuted to safety. The Tutor entered a spiral / spinning manoeuvre before diving steeply into the ground. The Tutor pilot and cadet (Flight Lieutenant Mike Blee and Cadet Nicholas Rice) were both fatally injured.
Registration G-BYXR cancelled by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed" 16/7/2009
