"Two die in light aircraft crash"

Two men have died when their light aircraft crashed on the top of cliffs on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent.
Emergency teams said the accident happened at Warden Point, just before 1400 BST on Saturday.

Members of the public told Thames Coastguard they saw the plane disintegrate in the air - coastguards said the men came down with the plane.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service said they attended the scene and found no fire, but that two men were confirmed dead.


Coastguards received several emergency calls from residents and passers-by who saw the air crash in a field by the cliff-edge.

Kent Police said the microlight crashed in Warden Road in the East Church area of Sheerness.

Emergency teams said the bodies were recovered by coastguards, but that their identities have yet to be established.

Investigators from the Civil Aviation Authority are at the scene.
