A light aircraft (Piper PA-28-161 Cherokee G-BTNE) was landing at Earls Colne Airport when it collided with two other planes on the ground causing damage. The aircraft touched down on Runway 24L at Earls Colne Airfield after a longer than normal flare. When the pilot applied the brakes the aircraft veered to the left onto the grass and struck two parked aircraft
A fire service spokesman said: "There was no fire and no people were trapped as a result of this incident. Crews cleaned up a fuel spillage and used small tools to help drain the remaining fuel from one aircraft fuel tank."
Pilot did a go around on the first attempt and on the second veered off the runway into a parked Piper PA-28 Cherokee and a Cessna F172H Slyhawk (G-AVEC) that were outside the new hangers and not near the main apron.
Update:
"I've found out a bit more from a mate at EGSR...No, he hit a Piper PA-28-140 first, bounced off and then slid minus the port wing into the Cessna 172. The aircraft had done a go around from the first approach to runway 24 at EGSR. 3 adults and a teenager apparently. And 2 golf bags... Nobody seems to know if he was in the process of doing another go-around? All 3 aircraft probably W/O. "
Registration G-BTNE cancelled by the CAA on 30/5/2013 as aircraft "destroyed"
