Harrier-Absturz in Großbritannien

KLICK

Zitat

A Harrier jet crashed in farmland in Rutland today, emergency services said.

The pilot ejected shortly before the GR7 aircraft from RAF Cottesmore came down at around 1.50pm near the village of Ashwell, Leicestershire.

"So far we know that one pilot has ejected and that he has been taken to the Queen's medical centre [in Nottingham] by ambulance. That's all we know so far," a spokeswoman for Leicestershire police said.

Ashwell is located around four miles west of RAF Cottesmore which is home to the four operational Harrier squadrons.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: "We can confirm that just before 1350 today a Harrier GR7 aircraft from RAF Cottesmore came down on open farmland near the village of Ashwell.

"There is no word at this time on the condition of the pilot and there are no reports of casualties on the ground.

"It is too early to say what might have caused the incident. However, a board of inquiry is being convened."

Ten fire engines were at the scene, Leicestershire fire and rescue said.
