An investigation into the crash is now being carried out.

Witness Lisa Darling-Daniel said: "We were sitting outside just enjoying the sunshine and talking and the plane was flying around over us and I thought for a moment that it was an acrobatic plane and I said to Laura 'oh look it's going to do a spin and she said 'that doesn't look like a spin'."

She added her and pal Laura Taylor "bolted over there" when they realised the plane crashed into the ground. 

Ms Darling-Daniel continued: "And then there was a loud crash so we bolted over there to see what we could do to help."
