Emergency services called to aircraft crash on Black Isle
BBC are reporting:"Emergency services have been dealing with a crash involving a small aircraft on the Black Isle in the Highlands.
The incident which is believed to involve a gyrocopter happened near Avoch, a village on the Moray Firth coast, at about 12:55. Police Scotland said it had received a report of a light aircraft having come down in a field. Four Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) appliances and two ambulances were sent to the scene. The Scottish Ambulance Service said it had also dispatched a community responder and Pre-hospital Immediate Care and Trauma team from Inverness. The initial emergency response to the incident also included Inverness Coastguard helicopter, which was later stood down. A gyrocopter has a rotor similar to a helicopter and usually carries one or two people." |
One fatality feared.
From the Aberdeen Evening Express: Highland Aviation, based at Inverness Dalcross Airport, has two gyros [an MTOsport and a Cavalon], but refused to confirm if it was one of theirs. A spokesman said: "We know that there has been an aircraft come down. But until we know more we can't comment." |
