Narrative:According to the Lincolnshire Echo:
"Light aircraft crash in Temple Bruer, near Sleaford.
A light aircraft crashed near Griffins Farm Lane, Temple Bruer last night. Lincolnshire Police and the fire brigade were called to the incident, near Sleaford, at around 5.30pm. When emergency services arrived, the pilot had managed to get out of the plane and was uninjured. He was taken to Lincoln County Hospital as a precaution. Fire crews then made the aircraft safe by disconnecting the battery."
UPDATE: According to the official AAIB report into the incident...
"The pilot had taken off in fine weather to conduct a test flight. The aircraft had been refuelled to full prior to flight, but after take-off the pilot noticed the fuel gauge was reading less than half-full. He decided to make an immediate return to the airfield but, on approach to land, the engine stopped. The pilot attempted to make the runway but the main wheels caught a hedge before the threshold and the aircraft overturned. The pilot, who was wearing a full safety harness, sustained only minor injury."
