Quite close to where we live, and have friends who fly microlights from Rochester (need to call to see they are OK). From BBC Kent:-
"Two men died when their light aircraft crashed on the top of cliffs on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.
Emergency teams said the accident happened in Plough Lane, 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.
Emergency calls
Rochester Airport control manager, Paul Richardson, who knew the men, said the pilot was in his 50s and the passenger in his early 20s.
"The passenger's family have been to the airport.
"They were very distressed and it was a while before they knew what was going on at the accident scene," he said.
Coastguards received several emergency calls from residents and passers-by who saw the air crash in a field by the cliff-edge.
"We are absolutely devastated. The pilot was a very close friend of ours," said a spokeswoman for the Rochester Microlight Flying School.
Investigators from the Civil Aviation Authority are at the scene. "
