Aircraft down in Highlands - pilot safe
From the BBC
Crash pilot has 'minor injuries'
A pilot has escaped with minor injuries after his light aircraft crashed in the Cairngorms, police have said.
The Cessna - which was flying from Inverness to Newcastle - came down near Mount Keen, five miles from Ballater.
An RAF helicopter will fly mountain rescue teams as close to the crash site as possible in the bad weather.
The Austrian pilot, who called rescue services in Vienna to raise the alarm, has now spoken to the rescue centre at RAF Kinloss on his mobile phone.
Helicopter approach
A spokesman for Grampian Police said: "He had been told the mountain rescue team was on its way and was sitting by his aircraft in his orange dinghy.
"When he hears the approach of the helicopter he plans to set off his flares.
"We can confirm that the pilot has suffered only minor injuries."
Members of the Braemar Mountain Rescue Team will be involved in the operation.
