Light aircraft MAYDAY landing in a field near Oxford
On Guard today at around about 1750Z was an aircraft calling a MAYDAY with a rough running engine (or engines) which landed in a field north of Oxford Kidlington. Does anyone know if the people on board are ok?

We were about 100 miles south of Oxford heading north at FL170 when we heard the mayday. Contact was lost with the aircraft after the forced landing but as we got closer we offered to help but were informed everyone was okay.

Any idea of aircraft type or home airfield? I know a few people in the area.
