Rescue team reaches crash pilot
Mountain rescue teams have found a pilot who escaped with minor injuries after his light aircraft crashed in the Cairngorms, police said.
The Cessna - which was flying from Inverness to Newcastle - came down near Mount Keen, five miles from Ballater.
An RAF helicopter flew mountain rescue teams as close to the crash site as possible in the bad weather.
Grampian Police said the pilot was found by members of Braemar Mountain Rescue Team at about 1415 BST.
Arrangements are being made to take him to the helicopter so he can be transferred to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
The Austrian pilot initially called rescue services in Vienna to raise the alarm on Thursday.
They put the call through to the RAF in Farnborough, before it finally got through to the rescue centre at RAF Kinloss.
A spokesman for Grampian Police said: "We can confirm that the pilot has suffered only minor injuries."
