Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing say veteran aviators.

A Spitfire plane carrying a pilot and one passenger has crash-landed on a field in Kent.

The World War Two plane (registration G-BMSB) was forced to make an emergency landing on a field near Lower Wall Road in West Hythe yesterday evening, just days before the VE Day celebrations across the UK.

The pilot and a passenger managed to walk out of the aircraft unhurt.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing… saving the airframe too bonus say veterans.

The fire service said: ‘Two fire engines attended, and crews helped make the scene safe. One person was passed into the care of SECAmb paramedics.’
