Survey plane down?
From ABC online
Darwin Police say nobody was injured when a single engine plane made an emergency landing next to the Arnhem Highway late yesterday afternoon.
The pilot was the only person on board the plane when it touched down about 40 kilometres from the Stuart Highway turn off.
Sergeant Bob Harrison says the plane was carrying out survey work when it was struck with engine trouble.
"Appeared to have engine failure... the pilot brought it down but as he was landing the plane collided with a tree and lost a wing," he said"
"The pilot is fine. He was taken to Royal Darwin Hospital as a precaution but he didn't sustain any injuries."
ABC news footage showed what looked like a Cresco/Fletcher with a geosurvey boom/projection.
