Two people died following a plane crash at Lower Colley Farm, Buckland after the aircraft hit a tree, an investigation has found. The fatal incident took place on August 12, 2021, during a cross-country flight.
Moments before the tragic Somerset collision, the pilot sent out an emergency alert saying the weather wasn't clear enough to land. Minutes later, several witnesses nearby described a loud engine noise prior to an impact.
Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) launched an inquiry into the incident which involved a Mudry Cap 10B (G-BXBU) and have now made a number of recommendations. The aircraft - carrying a pilot and passenger - set off from Watchford Farm at 7.04am, reports Somerset Live.
