Narrative:
On 6 June 1999, a BAE Hawk 200 aircraft crashed during SIAD '99 air show at M. R. Štefánik Airport, Bratislava (BTS/LZIB: co-ordinates 48°10′12″N, 017°12′46″E). Top British test pilot Graham Wardell was killed in Slovakia after his Aerospace Hawk 200 military jet came down during aerobatics.

The plane exploded when its wing hit the ground after failing to pull out of a low turn at a show at the Milan Rastislav Stefanik airport in Bratislava; the test pilot entered a barrel roll too low, the roll was too tight, and the exit speed was too fast, and at the wrong angle.

ZJ201 suffered a high speed stall, struck the ground and bounced clipping a building, killing a woman spectator. It bounced again and finally struck the ground and was destroyed. The pilot did not eject and was also killed
