Wife speaks of crash sorrow

THE wife of a pilot who died with his son in a light aircraft crash on the Spanish island of Menorca said today she could not "take it in".

Former RAF man Bruce Hook, 63, and his 26-year-old son Ian were killed on Saturday as they prepared for an air race at the island's San Luis aerodrome.

Mr Hook senior, from Worcester, was described as a "very competent" pilot by a colleague.

It is thought the plane had just taken off when it crashed and exploded.
