Just seen on BBC that 2 aircraft have collided near Coventry Airport. Sadly five people have been fatally injured.
The first aircraft landed in a field near Coventry Road, between Brinklow and Coventry.
The Cessna 402 G-EYES was owned by Reconnaissance Ventures Ltd (RVL), which is based at Coventry Airport and carried out survey work for government agenies and private firms
"It was approximately two miles from the runway," he said.
"We believe it had been cleared to land by Coventry Airport air traffic control when it was in collision with a smaller, single-engine light aircraft."
Debris from the collision stretched across several miles. No-one on the ground was reported to have been injured

RIP guys,my deepest condolences to the families concerned
Damn.
I actually saw G-EYES the day before its tragic accident and I'm pretty sure I got a shot of it on the ramp at CVT.
God bless 'em.
