What video footage tells us about RAF training jet crash
The RAF is investigating a crash involving one of its high-speed Hawk fighter jets after two of its pilots ejected and parachuted out of their plane moments before it crashed and burst into flames.
The RAF said that training on these jets had been "temporarily" paused as a "precautionary measure".
North Wales Police said the pilots, who had been flying a training aircraft, were being treated for minor injuries.
While an investigation is under way, here is what we know so far and what the crash footage shows us, according to one expert.
The Hawk T2 aircraft had been flying out of the RAF Valley base on Anglesey when it plummeted to the ground at nearby Pencarnisiog.
RAF Valley is used to provide both basic and advanced fast-jet training.
According to BBC Security analyst Mikey Kay, who also served in the RAF for 20 years, the area was "perfectly situated for training pilots" and was part of the "low-flying system".
According to the Ministry of Defence, there are 20 low-flying areas - also known as tactical training areas. They are located in central Wales, northern Scotland, the borders area of southern Scotland and northern England.
RAF Valley is also close to the Machynlleth Loop - a series of valleys between Dolgellau in Gwynedd and Machynlleth in Powys.
The loop, also known as the Mach Loop, is an attraction for aviation enthusiasts and photographers.
