Unhappy

Midday ABC Radio news, advised that a pilot hand swung the prop to start 'his' aircraft, which had 3 children on board. The engine started and the aircraft 'took off' with the pilot running along side.

It clipped a 'metro 10' and a cessna and got airborne before hitting another aircraft and coming to rest.

One child has a suspected broken collarbone, no other injuries reported.
