noelh Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Having lost several friends in air accidents. I don't have to imagine how everyone at Newtownards is feeling today. One news item said they were Ulster Flying Club members but the picture doesn't appear to be one of their Cessnas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 No updates yet There are more than just Cessnas at Newtownards I believe I saw the aeroplane doing circuits not long before its crash It was quite low over Donaghadee. Nothing unusual about that though Reports are that the Fire Service and ambulances were heading to Newtownards Airport before the crash happened. Both services are about 1/2 mile from the airport. The fire service were apparently first on the scene and applied fire-retardant almost immediately upon the crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
