A LIGHT aircraft crash landed on Southend Airport at lunchtime but there are no reports of any injuries or fire.
Firefighters were called from Southend and Leigh and they were joined by retained firefighters from Rochford, Shoeburyness and Hawkwell at the airport.
However, Essex County Fire and Rescue Service have confirmed its fire crews attendance was a standard procedure and airport’s own firefighters dealt with the incident alone.
Passengers had disembarked from Cessna plane before any firecrews reached the stricken aircraft on the runway and the incident was over by 1.20pm.
