Crash at Fairoaks.

Says a Jet but propeller mentioned so guessing maybe a pc12 or Tbm.

Thankfully only injures to crew.

"It was coming into land to pick up a customer. There were two personnel on board- the pilot and the co-pilot.”

A private aircraft on the "M" register?

Doesn't sound like a private aircraft - Sterna Aviation Ltd

Last time I checked, two pilots could position into an airport to pick up an owner.

Oh and the aircraft could be registered to a Company too, called whatever you like (within reason)!

Nice to see the usual jumping to conclusions

Looks as though the aircraft has spun round and gone into the trees/fence backwards!
