Engine failed short of Kidlington

Down the local last night and learnt one of our village's surrounding fields has a new addition:

Plane crash lands in field near Tackley (From Oxford Mail)

Recall hearing the sirens on Thursday evening... May don the wellies and take the kids near to the site tomorrow. Rumors point to a rather impressive after dark landing with little/no damage.

Night FL into a field. Bloody good work. Aircraft already flown out of said field and back at Oxford.

Edit due comment below . . . . .

PFL?
Sounds more like a real forced landing.
Well done!

No plummeting? No schools & hospitals avoided by hero pilot? What's journalism coming to these days?

Sounds like a good result though.
