Aircraft crash after take-off at Andrewsfield

Anyone have any news on the below? Hope everyone involved walked away ok.


BBC News - Aircraft crashes after take-off from Essex airfield

Ambulance crews were called to Andrewsfield Aerodrome in Stebbing near Dunmow but no-one was seriously hurt, East of England Ambulance Service said.

"We believe the aircraft got in to difficulties whilst taking off [and] it crash-landed," a spokesman said.

Firefighters confirmed that the incident involved a GA-7 Cougar aircraft with two people on board.

The incident was over by 13:00 GMT after fire crews inspected the plane to make sure there was no danger.

The aircraft looks like it struck the floor with the right wing tip and the nose, both props look like they hit the floor, some damage is visible to the underside of the tail.
