On Saturday, May 25, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a statement on X (formerly known as Twitter) after the RAF confirmed the pilot had died “in a tragic accident near RAF Coningsby” that day.
Per the Associated Press and the BBC, it was a World War II-era Spitfire fighter plane belonging to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) that crashed.
“Incredibly sad to hear of the news this afternoon from RAF Coningsby. Our thoughts this evening are with the pilot’s loved ones, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and the wider RAF family,” Princess Kate and Prince William wrote, signing the message “W & C” (William and Catherine).
On Sunday, May 26, RAF Group Captain Robbie Lees, Commander Display Air Wing, released an official statement confirming Squadron Leader Mark Long had died in the accident.
“It is with great sorrow that I must confirm the death of Squadron Leader Mark Long,” Lees said in a statement shared on the RAF website.
“Mark was a Typhoon pilot here at RAF Coningsby and for the last four years, he has been a pilot with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. A great friend, colleague, and a passionate, professional aviator he will be sorely missed by all that knew him,” he continued.
Lees confirmed an investigation “into the cause of this tragic event” was underway. “The RAF will not be offering any comment on the accident until that investigation has concluded, and likewise, we ask others not to speculate,” the message added.
“I would like to extend a sincere thank you to the RAF personnel and our emergency services colleagues who responded so swiftly yesterday,” the statement continued.
Lees concluded, “Our thoughts remain with Mark’s family and friends to whom we offer our deepest sympathies. We ask that their privacy be respected at this tragic and shocking time.”
