Light aircraft crashes into field in Lundin Links - BBC News

Hope the pilot is not too badly injured.


Anyone know if accident is related to the strip nearby?

What strip is nearby?

Fife, Bonnybank, Kingsmuir

Not Vince again is it? Its' near his patch:E

None of these but I do not want to name it in case the owner was involved in the accident.

Pilot is named in the above linked BBC report now.

Apparently clipped a combine harvester when coming into land, injuries not life threatening.

That is who I thought/feared it might be. I am pleased to hear that Stewart Russell is not too badly injured.

Glad he's on the mend. Hit a combine in the field in mid July, they must be getting an early start to the harvest down there in Fife.

From Scottish notes for July by A. Ness:

Lundin Links – Pilmuir Farm: PA18 G-BIYJ came to grief in a landing accident here on 17 Jul when the wing clipped a combine harvester and flipped over sustaining substantial damaged although fortunately the pilot who has owned it since 1981 survived. The future of the aircraft is uncertain although from a photograph in The Courier it looks to be repairable.

We are. The field at the end of my road was cut on the 20th, I've seen a few other cut fields.
