    Pilot dies in Spitfire crash near RAF Coningsby

    Police and emergency services rushed to the scene on Langrick Road at just before 1.20pm on Saturday, May 25.

    The Spitfire of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) was flying near the air station when the crash took place.

    The male pilot, who has not yet been named, was declared dead at the scene.

    An MoD spokesperson said: “It is with great sadness that we must confirm the death of an RAF pilot in a tragic accident near RAF Coningsby today.

    “The pilot’s family have been informed and we ask that their privacy is respected at this difficult time.”

    An investigation is due to take place.

    Lincolnshire Police said it was a single occupant aircraft and nobody else was involved.

    The East Midlands Ambulance Service sent a “number of resources”, including a paramedic and a helicopter ambulance.

    Road closures are in place in the areas of Dogdyke Road and Sandy Bank, with motorists urged to avoid the area.

    RAF Coningsby is home to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, a collection of wartime fighter and bomber aircraft that take part in air shows and memorial displays.

    Rishi Sunak said in a post on X: “Awful news to see the life of a serving RAF pilot cut short in this tragic event. My thoughts are with their family and loved ones.”

    Sir Keir Starmer said: “Deeply saddened by news from Lincolnshire. Thank you to the emergency services for their response. My thoughts are with the pilot’s family at this awful time.”

    A new study suggests that regular exercise can help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers found that individuals who engaged in physical activity at least three times a week were less likely to develop the condition compared to those who were sedentary. The study highlights the importance of staying active for brain health and overall well-being. Experts recommend incorporating regular exercise into daily routines to help protect against Alzheimer’s.
