Pilot mistakes highway for runway - TNT Magazine

Pilot Pulls Out Of Highway Landing - national | Stuff.co.nz

This happened on Friday and was basically a student flying a solo navex and having a few difficulties identifying the destination airfield.

At this stage I don't know if the actual height has been mentioned. I am thinking it will be closer to 300 feet than 10 ft though.
The media seem to think 3 metres is more newsworthy.

You have to seriously suspect the intellect of the UK TNT editor though. How competent is he ?
