The aircraft crashed in an open area just outside the village of Throop, near to Bournemouth Airport after the elite RAF aerobatics team had completed a display over the sea front as part of the annual air show.
Only eight of the nine-strong Red Arrows display team landed at Bournemouth Airport after their display for the show went without a hitch.
Onlookers had reported a dazzling display as the RAF Hawk jets painted pictures of love hearts in the sky with trails of pink smoke.
But as the aircraft returned to Bournemouth Airport at around 1.50pm, one of the jets, crashed into an open area outside Throop village.
Reporters from the BBC who were commentating on the air show said they thought it was Red Four that had crashed.
