A Red Arrows pilot was taken to hospital after ejecting from a plane during a training exercise in Crete, the Foreign Office has said.
Another member of the RAF aerobatic team landed safely in what was reportedly a mid-air collision involving two jets.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that an incident has occurred involving the Red Arrows whilst undertaking pre-season training at Hellenic Air Force Base, Kastelli, in Crete, and one pilot ejected and has been taken to hospital and the other one landed safely."
