Aircraft struck lorry as it came into land, says report
A light aircraft struck a HGV lorry as it came into land at an airfield in Somerset, an investigation has found.
The 81-year-old pilot sustained minor injuries and his passenger suffered a broken wrist that needed surgery. It said that just before touchdown on 2 March the pilot of the Vans RV-9A saw the HGV and his right wingtip struck the lorry trailer. "It was unlikely the pilot would have been able to see the HGV during the approach," the report said.
