Auster Aiglet down near Bicester

An Auster Aiglet has crashed with severe injuries to the pilot on Sunday.

BBC NEWS | UK | England | Aircraft crash caught on camera

Fortunately the pilot's condition is described as "stable"

Judging by the eye witness account that she heard a "swoosh" I would assume that the engine had stopped given that the sound generated by a Gipsy engine is a bit louder than that.

Edited to remove non-funtional link!
