Airman dies in North crash:
An airman from RAF Boulmer was killed and two colleagues were injured when their car hit a tree near Craster.
The body of the driver, 19 year old Aircraftman David Black, had to be cut from the wreckage by firemen.
Aircraftman David James, from Glasgow and Aircraftwoman Karen Barwick are recovering from minor injuries in Newcastle’s RVI today.
The three, all from Boulmer air base, were in a Ford Cortina which crashed into the tree on the Craster-to-Littlemill road, just North of Howick, late last night.
A spokesman at RAF Boulmer said relatives of the dead man, who came from Cowdenbeath, were travelling to Alnwick for formal identification today.
