From the heli-teli down link in our control room, it looks as though she had chosen the playing field to land and ran out of grass and ended totalled in the first row of trees. Hems were already on scene below, before Police & trumpton arrived, attending to her about 30m from the aircraft. Perhaps she should share her next lot of lottery numbers with us.
From the radio it would seem she was a "Senior" student, looks like the training paid off - the spokesperson from biggin hill seemed to be happy she had done very well considering..
Good to hear the pilot was ok I was 3 miles dead side at this point in my 9th lesson I noticed the police helicopter was arround Biggin aerodrome so could not have been far! Was very scary to hear on the radio.

Reason: Wrong number of lessons entered
To be honest I thought the picture selected by beeb was incredible insensitve. I'd be curious to know what justification there is for such a gruesome reminder of the relatives of those killed last year, their friends and fellow pilots... not to mention the residents in the area. To compare an incident like that to the one know is sickening in my view.
, I supposed more details should be out soon.
then reading the small text.... very insensative!
