I'm a regular pilot in and out of Oxford and I can't possibly see how they could have hit the power cables unless they were carrying out some very very low (and thus breaking noise abatement procedures) approaches on to 19. Sounds foolish to me.

Was he trying a glide approach? Did he cut the power in more ways than one?

Maybe there was a lot of resistance to the landing Charged
