Incident Accident at Albury??
Six escape in emergency landing
August 12, 2003
A LIGHT plane with six people on board made a safe emergency landing in a paddock in southern NSW this morning.
The pilot and five passengers were all assessed by ambulance officers and cleared of any injuries after touching down near the township of Bowna, 35km north of Albury, soon after 10am (AEST).
Emergency service crews originally gathered at Albury airport after the pilot radioed the control tower there to report undercarriage problems.
But the crews rushed to Bowna after the pilot had to bring the plane down sooner than expected.
"Thankfully everyone got out OK," an ambulance spokesman said.
Heard the ar%se end of a radio report saying that there was an engine failure in IMC which necessitated the off field landing.
