The other thread has links to what must be a new low in Daily Mail reporting, I'm sure the editors eight year old kid must have written it !

It is pretty appalling, isn't it?

Just the one seat and indeed the one engine according to the DM report:

The pilot, who is said to be in his 40s, had to bring the single-seater aircraft down in a field not far from the coastal village.

Scene: The single-engine plane was brought down in a field just outside Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, after the pilot was forced into making an emergency landing
[under photo of aircraft - count 'em!]

Do hope he is alright - BBC says:

He had suffered only minor injuries and was checked over by an ambulance crew.

DM says:

He was taken to hospital on a stretcher is said to have sustained neck and back injuries

However, I am glad they got the important details correct:

He was casually dressed in blue jeans and a black fleece when he was taken off the aircraft.

:ugh:

Fair play, the plane looks to have suffered little damage in the picture..

Now, how to get it out of the field....
