"The airman was part of a logistics convoy to resupply UK forces in support of Operation Ellamy.
"The airman was driving the lead vehicle in the convoy when, for reasons that have yet to be established, his vehicle left the carriageway. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this terribly difficult time."
