Aircraft crash-lands in a garden
Two men suffered only minor injuries when their light aircraft came down in a garden in Kent.

The Cessna 172 took off from Rochester Airport, and crash-landed in the garden of a house in Lyminge, Folkestone.

Both men were taken to William Harvey Hospital after the incident on Saturday and treated for minor injuries.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch has been informed but it is not known why the aircraft came down.

Emergency services went to the scene at the property off Stone Street, in Farthing Common.

A spokesman for Kent Police said the pilot was from Maidstone and the passenger from Cranbrook.
