Headlights save stricken aircraft

A flying instructor used the headlights of his 4x4 vehicle to guide a stricken aircraft to safety.
Steve Clarehugh, from Northumberland, used powerful headlamps on his Isuzu Trooper to help the Cessna land on an unlit airfield at Eshott, near Amble.
The Cessna 182 was forced to land on Tuesday after suffering engine failure on a trip from Dundee to Manchester.
