"Two people who were killed when their glider crashed in Lancashire have been named by police.
Pilot Martin Moss, 55, and passenger David Rukin, 44, both from Lancashire, died when the glider crashed shortly after taking off.
An investigation was under way on Sunday after the craft came down in a field on Saturday afternoon.
The accident happened just before 1330 GMT at the Bowland Forest Gliding Club in Chipping, north-east of Preston.
Self-propelled model
---------------------------
Mr Moss, of Penwortham, Preston, and Mr Rukin, of Whalley, near Clitheroe, were both members of the club.
Air accident investigators are examining the wreckage of the glider, which was owned by the club.
A Lancashire Police spokesman confirmed the two people were pronounced dead at the scene.
He said: "The glider was a self-propelled model, which collided with the ground shortly after take-off, killing both male pilots.
'Good friends'
------------------
"The air ambulance attended with a doctor, but both pilots, who were from the Chipping area, were confirmed dead at the scene."
Club chairman Phil Atkinson said: "The police and Air Accident Investigation Board are here now and they are examining the scene.
"It is still too early to say what happened."
Mr Atkinson described the dead men as "very good friends".
