A pilot has suffered burns after his light aircraft caught fire when it crashed in a forest in Cheshire.
Emergency crews were called on Monday night after being alerted that the aircraft, flying from Liverpool John Lennon airport, was in difficulty.
The 52-year-old pilot, from Merseyside, had been flying alone and suffered second-degree burns.
The plane crashed into woodland near Delamere Forest. Fire crews said that the dense forest lessened the impact.
Air accident investigators are due to visit the scene to help establish the cause of the crash.
