The royal family offers its condolences.
Prince William And Kate Middleton honored the death of Marc Longa British Royal Air Force (RAF) pilot who crashed while flying a World War II Spitfire aircraft on May 25.
“Incredibly sad to hear the news this afternoon from RAF Coningsby,” the couple shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, the same day. “Our thoughts this evening are with the pilot’s loved ones, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the wider RAF family.”
Mark’s death was confirmed by the group captain Robbie Leewho called the pilot “a great friend, colleague and passionate and professional aviator”.
“An investigation into the causes of this tragic event has now begun,” said the May 26 press release. “The RAF will not comment on the accident until the investigation is complete, and similarly we ask others not to speculate.”
“I would like to sincerely thank the RAF personnel and our emergency service colleagues who responded so quickly yesterday,” the message continued. “Our thoughts are with Mark’s family and friends, to whom we offer our deepest condolences. We ask that their privacy be respected at this tragic and shocking time.”
