IMAGES have been released of a plane crash in Somerset this week.
Navy Wings Hawker Sea Fury T20 G-RNHF (VX281) was forced to conduct an emergency landing in a field close to RNAS Yeovilton following a problem with the engine.
Both pilots escaped injury but unfortunately the aircraft has been severely damaged.
The Sea Fury, which was on a routine training flight, suffered a significant drop in engine oil pressure shortly after taking-off and climbing away from the airfield.
The pilots, both highly experienced former naval pilots, immediately carried out the appropriate drills and transmitted a PAN call.
They turned back and lined themselves up perfectly for a precautionary landing on Runway 04.
