THREE people were injured after a light aircraft from York made in emergency landing at Gatwick Airport.
The plane landed only yards from the end of the runway at Gatwick Airport just after 9am yesterday.
It landed on its wheels on the airstrip at the nearby aviation museum in Charlwood, next to the airport’s perimeter fence on the border of Surrey and Sussex.
The pilot and two passengers were treated for minor injuries at the scene. The plane had taken off in York.
Local roads were closed for a short time following the accident.
