Forced landing on Holy Island beach 09/03/06

Does anyone know more about this incident that was reported by the BBC last week - aircraft type & registration, pilots, departure airfield, destination etc ? Where the occupants and aircraft ok after the landing? Did the aircraft fly off the beach when refueled?

It was an eventful week for GA in the county. There was another forced landing the day before, also in Northumberland. A C182 made a night approach into Eshott airfield - again reported by the BBC and already being discussed on the PPRune thread below.
