Historic Aircraft Badly Damaged

From Channel TV news

"HISTORIC AIRCRAFT BADLY DAMAGED

One of Jersey's most historic aircraft was badly damaged this afternoon.

The De Havilland Heron, painted in Jersey Airlines colours, became stuck in the mud as it prepared to taxi to the runway.

The plane had been chartered to take a team of journalists, including Channel Television's Richard Pallot, to Liverpool for the start of the Clipper Round the World Race.

As the pilot tried to free the Heron, it swung round and caused damage to the airport apron and its engines."
