TWO KILLED IN LIGHT AIRCRAFT CRASH


Two people have died after their light aircraft crashed on the top of cliffs on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, the fire service has said.

Emergency services were called to Warden Point after members of the public reported seeing the plane disintegrate in the air.


A spokesman for Thames Coastguard said they had received a number of 999 calls from local residents and passers-by who witnessed the crash in a field by the cliff-edge just before 2pm.

"It seems to have disintegrated in the air. The occupants appear to have come down with the plane," he added.

Kent Fire Service said two people in the plane had been confirmed dead.

"Our officers are at the scene. There does not appear to be any fire," the spokeswoman added.
