Echo:
Light aircraft glides into field
A light aircraft came down in a farmer’s field after a propeller fell off mid-flight. The lucky pilot managed to glide into farmland off Warren Road, South Hanningfield, and walk away unscathed. But an RAF helicopter was called out because of initial fears that someone had been injured.
Firefighters, police and an ambulance raced to the scene at about 4.10pm yesterday to search for the pilot of the single-seater plane.
