Just the one seat and indeed the one engine according to the DM report:

The pilot, who is said to be in his 40s, had to bring the single-seater aircraft down in a field not far from the coastal village.

Scene: The single-engine plane was brought down in a field just outside Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, after the pilot was forced into making an emergency landing

[under photo of aircraft - count 'em!]

Do hope he is alright - BBC says:

He had suffered only minor injuries and was checked over by an ambulance crew.

DM says:


He was taken to hospital on a stretcher is said to have sustained neck and back injuries

However, I am glad they got the important details correct:

He was casually dressed in blue jeans and a black fleece when he was taken off the aircraft.

Fair play, the plane looks to have suffered little damage in the picture..

Now, how to get it out of the field....
