Pilot injured after two planes land ‘at same time’

A pilot was injured after two light aircraft crashed after apparently landing at the same time.

A yellow biplane ended up on top of the other aircraft on Friday afternoon at Dunkeswell aerodrome near Honiton, Devon.

The pilot, in his 60s, was not seriously injured and the Air Accident Investigation Branch has begun an inquiry into the runway collision.

A witness, Tom George, said both planes were “landing on the same runway, approaching from the same direction”.

An investigation by Devon and Cornwall police has been launched.
