Plane 'incident' investigated in Honiley, Warwickshire | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
Air accident investigators have responded to a "serious incident" involving a light aircraft in Warwickshire. | |
The incident, in airspace over Honiley, involved a Cessna Citation 525 which declared an emergency at approximately 13:00 GMT. | |
A spokesman from the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) confirmed the plane landed safely. | |
He added that there were no other aircraft involved. | |
Steve Slater from the General Aviation Awareness Council said he believed the Cessna, which is a light twin-engine jet, received minor damage to its wing when flying over Warwickshire. | |
He said he understood it was going to make an emergency landing at Coventry, but was then fit to return to base in Leeds. | |
Mr Slater said any AAIB investigation would take place in Warwickshire even though the plane did not touch down in the county. |
