Aircraft lands in field doesnt sound as newsworthy as Aircraft crashes in Field :E

The pilot was not trapped in the aircraft sounds better than the pilot opened the door and casually stepped out smiling.

No one was injured sounds better than the pilot headed off at a fast walking pace to a nearby pub to make some calls and get a pint.

Real line should have been

Aircraft lands in a field! The pilot opened the door and casually stepped out smiling then headed off to a nearby pub to make some calls and get a pint.

How many papers will you sell with that?

I was down at Headcorn yesterday. I must have seen - now let me think - about a dozen aircraft crashing into the field. :hmm:

The Local Echo paper states that the propeller 'fell off'!:eek:
I'd have more concearn as to where thats ended up!

Thanks

The plane made a crash landing in a field off Warren Lane, South Hanningfield shortly after 4pm.

Emergency crews took an hour or so trying to find the aeroplane :rolleyes:

A rescue helicopter from RAF Wattisham was scrambled to find the missing aircraft.

I would think lots of people have lots of friends who fly in that area, VFR.

It's a popular 'playground' just outside the SEN active area,

[Mr Cessna]

The Echo also stated that it was a single seater aeroplane :confused:

Emergency crews took an hour or so trying to find the aeroplaneIf that is true then it is extremely worrying.

Light aircraft glides into field

A light aircraft came down in a farmer’s field after a propeller fell off mid-flight. The lucky pilot managed to glide into farmland off Warren Road, South Hanningfield, and walk away unscathed. But an RAF helicopter was called out because of initial fears that someone had been injured.
Firefighters, police and an ambulance raced to the scene at about 4.10pm yesterday to search for the pilot of the single-seater plane.

I heard it was a Tipsy Nipper G-ATBW.
