Translation:-
A fighter from the 2nd World War II landed in a field on Sunday during the big air show at Roskilde Airport. The pilot was not hurt, according to Mid and West Zealand Police.

- He had engine problems and chose to land in a field. So when he could not land right, then it's all actually gone as it should. He's not hurt, and it does indeed not appear that the plane has suffered great damage, even if it landed on the 'belly' with the landing gear up says Claus Hald Simonsen, head of security for Mid and West Zealand Police, for BNB.

Police received notification that there was a small plane crashed in a field near the airport in Roskilde at 15:25 Sunday.

A Messerschmitt ME 109 vintage from World War II, participating at an airshow at Roskilde Airshow had engine problems, so the pilot decided to make an emergency landing on nearby field. The crash landing was carried out by the pilot who pulled the landing gear up and made a belly landing.

The pilot, a German citizen born in 1962, is unharmed and was alone in the aircraft during the crash landing.
