Subject: Aircraft accident disrupts show - Ananova Alerting


The 39th Biggin Hill Air Show was disrupted when a jet crash-landed.

Former RAF pilot Clive Rustin escaped injury when the 1960s Venom plane got
into difficulty after its undercarriage developed a fault.

Cranes eventually moved the plane from the runway but the accident meant
the timetable of the show had to be altered.

Nick Smith, spokesman for the show, said it was unclear what had happened
to the plane: "Either the undercarriage failed to come down or it collapsed
underneath it as it came into land."
