A PILOT escaped unscathed after being forced to make an emergency landing in a field a mile from Cardiff airport last night. It is believed the pilot was forced to make the landing after the engine of his light aircraft, a Robin 200, cut out.
The pilot, a member of the Cardiff Flying Club, is believed to have been flying circuits when the engine failure forced him to land as he approached Cardiff International Airport. He landed about a mile from the airport in a field just short of runway one to two, to the west of the airport at about 5.51pm last night. Both the pilot and his passenger walked away from the aircraft unharmed.
