Light aircraft down at Shotteswell Farm today
According to the Banbury Guardian, the pilot, age 70, was airlifted to the JR hospital with a broken leg. His passenger was checked over but not seriously hurt. The aircraft, upside down, is not easy to identify, but looks like a low wing Cherokee type. Winds were a bit strong today.
The airstrip is off the B4 Warwick Road, near Banbury.

asn thinks so, too, and has supportive images:
ASN Aircraft incident 23-FEB-2015 Piper PA-28-161 Warrior III G-COVB
Seeing the remains of the plane, they may thank their stars there was no fire.

Glad there was no fatalities, looks a nasty crash. Wonder how that ended up right next to the runway, maybe a low wing drop which caused the flip as it’s tore the wings off.
