Alun Fishburne, BAE Systems Director for Tornado ATTAC*, said:
"It is with great sadness that BAE Systems confirms the fatality of one of its air crew following an incident involving a Tornado aircraft which was being flown from RAF Marham.
The aircraft was involved in a routine flight test. It has since landed at RAF Marham and formal investigations are underway.
Next of kin are being informed and no further details are available at this stage. Our thoughts and prayers are with them."
