Narrative:The banner-towing aircraft made an emergency landing in the marsh due to loss of power after takeoff. The pilot escaped without injuries and was picked up by a Mosquito Commission Bell 47 helicopter (several hundred yards away from the plane when attempting to retrieve the advertisement banner) since the crash site could not be reached by car or boat.
