Just saw it on the BBC news - still no further reports, and there is fairly heavy fog over the North Sea.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a safe recovery.

 

[Airframes]

Latest from the BBC. Aircraft wreckage has been found in the area, No further news on the pilot.

My local news is reporting a body has been found

 

[Airframes]

Yes, the BBC News have reported that the deceased pilot has been found. No name will be released until next of kin have been informed. Cause of the loss is as yet unknown.
(For those unfamiliar with this area of Europe, there are parts of the North Sea off the UK coast which are designated NATO ACM ranges, the crash site being one of them, IIRC.)
Condolences to the relatives and comrades of the lost pilot.

Real shame to hear. Condolences to the family of the pilot.

This kid graduated from the academy in 2017. I saw a photo of him in a T-41, I remember seeing him around the 557th FTS. RIP
