A Spitfire which crashed on a test flight from Biggin Hill will fly again after its hero pilot performed 'a textbook landing'.
Pilot Dan Griffiths lost all power seconds after he took off from the runway and managed to glide the aircraft down without causing a catastrophic amount of damage.
The former RAF pilot suffered a shoulder injury and was taken to hospital, but he is also expected to make a full recovery.

A Russian helicopter crashed during an air show, killing one member of the crew and injuring another.
The Mi-28 helicopter gunship was part of a flight of helicopters performing aerobatics at the Dubrovichi firing range in Ryazan region, about 105miles south-east of Moscow.
The surviving crew member managed to eject before the crash and is in a stable condition,
How the hell do you "eject" from a chopper?

Something that has been looked at for years but in the to difficult tray. Side ejections and even vertical post ejection of the rotors. Very complex though. Shouldn't really be a problem with auto rotation, however ........UPDATED: 14:22 GMT, 2 August 2015

Interesting, did not know that, we were taught, if you were still alive, to get out through a window.
Bit risky though if your flying low I'd have thought?
Downwards ejections were discounted for that reason. You'd be a boil in the bag soup in less than a second (if to low) with no time to separate from your ejection seat and the drogue chute would not have time to deploy the main chute.
we had a close call with Vulcan yesterday, nose gear indication fault,after several passes and recycling of gear all ok as confirmed by "Battle 1 " BBMF Spitfire who just happened to be displaying at that point,Vulcan then landed safely
