another plane down

Postby FsNovice » Wed Dec 19, 2007 5:42 pm

A pilot has been found alive after a twin-engine light aircraft crashed near an airport in Oxfordshire.

The plane was returning from Hampshire when air traffic control lost contact shortly after 1700 GMT and about four miles from Oxford Airport, Kidlington.

Pity, at least the pilot is OK though.
