A private aircraft
with three people on board crashed on take-off at a
private airport near the village of Ballingarry in Limerick today.
The plane, which was being flown by a professional pilot, appeared to lose power on take off and ploughed through a ditch and into a field.
It is believed that neither the pilot nor the two passengers, an elderly couple, have life threatening injuries.
They are being treated at the Accident and Emergency unit at Limerick Regional Hospital.

No other data avail. Ends.

Anyone know more ?
