|The Guardian
A "passionate, professional" RAF pilot who was killed in a crash in a Spitfire while taking part in a Battle of Britain event has been named.
Sqn Ldr Mark Long died following the crash at RAF Coningsby on Saturday. An investigation into the incident that led to his death has been launched.
Gp Cpt Robbie Lees, Commander, Display Air Wing, said yesterday: "It is with great sorrow that I must confirm the death of Sqn Ldr Mark Long.
"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 [BBMF].
A great friend, colleague, and a passionate, professional aviator, he will be sorely missed by all that knew him.
"An investigation into the cause of this tragic event has now begun."
The Prince and Princess of Wales led tributes to Long, who was due to take over the BBMF next year.

'Glacial pace' Master of slow cinema perfected isolation
The semiofficial genre of “slow cinema” has been around for decades: glacial pacing, unhurried and unbroken takes, characters who appear to be looking - often wordlessly and unsmilingly - at people or things off camera or into the lens itself, the immobile silence accumulating into a transcendental simplicity.
