Small Aircraft Lands on Water During Herne Bay Airshow

A small aircraft made a controlled emergency landing off Herne Bay, Kent, during an air show on Sunday, August 14. The G-ARNZ plane, which was operated by the Turbulent Display team, was forced to land on the water due to a “problem” and was flipped upside down upon landing. Rescuers, which included many spectators, came to the pilot’s aid and helped turn the plane upright.The Turbulent Display confirmed that the pilot was safe, while news reports added that the pilot suffered minor injuries. This video shows the ditching and people rushing towards the plane. Credit: Simon Collins
