Landing accident at Croft Farm, Defford
To get in ahead of any rumours, our Emeraude suffered a landing accident at Croft Farm around 1300 local - the aircraft nosed over. The pilot was one of the owning syndicate, and I am another. The pilot suffered a cut to the forehead and was rescued from the upturned aircraft by Goucestershire's wonderful Air Ambulance crew, who are based only 2 miles away. The pilot was 'walking wounded' and was taken to A&E by car. He did not appear to be badly hurt but of course was shaken. I'm waiting to hear that he's returned home.
Many thanks to the emergency services who were fantastic, and to Clive and Michael at the farm.
