Two people were seriously injured and seven more treated at the scene when a light aircraft crashed in Kent.

Firefighters attended Headcorn Aerodrome at 1604 GMT on Sunday after reports that the aircraft had hit a static display plane.

The plane was carrying eight parachutists when it reportedly crashed during an aborted take-off.

Kent Ambulance Service said the pilot suffered severe head injuries and his co-pilot suffered chest injuries.

One female passenger was later transferred to hospital after suffering a severe asthma attack, rescuers said.

A bit off the subject...
The picture of the airport makes it seem like one that I would like to land at...
We have few airports with big wide grass areas in the USA, and lots of airplanes parked all around, even for one day a year.
We are about JETS and lots of concrete and all the things that go with that scene.
Wish I were there this time of year.

I remember being a passenger on a small Cessna that flew out of it's owners backyard. Basically it was two fields with a small hole in the dividing hedge
