Report on Cairngorm aircraft crash released

A probe into a light aircraft crash on Cairn Gorm has reported that the pilot was not qualified to fly in the conditions in which he found himself.
The 45-year-old, who died in the accident, was trying to get from the UK to Florida when he crashed into the mountain in April 2008.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch said it had been snowing heavily.
