Quote from Manchester news paper:
It is thought the pilot may have been attempting to land his aircraft on the road when it collided with the two homes which belong to a mother and daughter.
One expert on a respected professional pilot's website wrote: "Sounds like the pilot attempted to land in the street after looking at the road. Looks wide and long."
Neighbour Vivian Fletcher, 72, lives in Newlands Avenue described her shock after hearing a bang as the plane came down.
She said: "I had just returned from the shops and was putting my shopping away when I heard a big bang.
"The plane came down on two houses, a woman lives in one of them and her daughter lived next door.
"I ran out when I heard the noise, there was black smoke everywhere, before we knew it the street was swarming with police and fire and rescue officers. Everyone is still in a state of shock I think.
