Glad to see no injuries.
Copter pilot escapes crash
A 53-year-old pilot has escaped with minor injuries after a helicopter crashed in a field.
The privately-owned Gazelle helicopter crashed in Hadleigh, Essex, said a police spokesman.
The pilot, who lives locally, walked away from the scene of the crash, the spokesman added.
Police said military firefighters attended the scene.
Striking firefighters also left picket lines to make themselves available, but did not assist servicemen once they realised that no lives were at risk.
