LYNEHAM: The inquest into a 29-year-old serviceman from RAF Lyneham, who died in a motorbike accident, opens on Monday in Chippenham.

The man died at the scene after his motorcycle was in collision with a white Ford Escort Van on the A3102 on the Lyneham road to Calne on Wednesday. Police have not yet named the man. He is the second serviceman to die in a motorbike accident in the area recently. Colin Burnett, 32, was killed when his machine was in collision with a Porsche on the B4069 Chippenham Road last week.
