Royal Navy jet crashes in Cornwall after possible engine failure

A Royal Navy jet crash has crashed in south-west England.

It is understood the Hawk T1 jet crashed near its base in Cornwall but both members of crew were able to eject and suffered only minor injuries.

Britain's Ministry of Defence said the aircraft was from the 736 Naval Air Squadron at RNAS Culdrose.

Devon and Cornwall Police said two people were treated by paramedics at the scene in St Martins, near Helston, before they were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

"Public are asked to avoid the area whilst first responders attend the scene. Updates as we get them," the force tweeted.

Cornwall Air Ambulance said it was responding to reports of an "aircraft engine failure" in Helston, with two people on board reportedly suffering "minor injuries".

The MoD said the two pilots were "being checked by medics" and an investigation would begin soon.

Keep it fun and engaging

Stuart Ritchie, director of wealth advice at AES International, says children cannot learn something overnight, so it helps to have a fun routine that keeps them engaged and interested.

“I explain to my daughter that the money I draw from an ATM or the money on my bank card doesn’t just magically appear – it’s money I have earned from my job. I show her how this works by giving her little chores around the house so she can earn pocket money,” says Mr Ritchie.

His daughter is allowed to spend half of her pocket money, while the other half goes into a bank account. When this money hits a certain milestone, Mr Ritchie rewards his daughter with a small lump sum.

He also recommends books that teach the importance of money management for children, such as The Squirrel Manifesto by Ric Edelman and Jean Edelman.
