Plane crash at Bournemouth Air Festival and all flights suspended

(videos)

A 'wingwalking' plane has crash-landed into Poole Harbour and all flights have now been suspended. We will be bringing you live updates as and when we get them

A plane has crash landed into the water at Bournemouth Air Festival this afternoon after reports of an engine failure.

The 'wingwalking' plane - where somebody is strapped onto the top of a plane with a safety harness and cable - has reportedly crashed in nearby Poole Harbour and sunk.

It is understood authorities are now attempting to find the black box of the aircraft.

There are no reports of any injuries at this stage.

Could be anything. Mechanical failure, pilot error? Who knows.

These wing walkers displays are amazing to watch.

Latest message from friend:
""Only the crew are safe,the pilot was bashed about a bit.""

I recommend you look at the comments. There are more pictures posted.

Lets hope that because its such a light and acrobatic plane that it managed to glide down and land ok in the water and everyone got to the surface with non life threatening injuries.

just pilot and wingwalker injured, after it ditched in the water, neither one serious

i like this quote though

"It was while the wing-walking display was on. During the display the plane kind of disappeared out of sight," he said.

The crowd was then told that a pilot had reported a fault and had flown off to try and rectify it.

"They just didn't return," he said."

This is the official Bournemouth air festival website. They didn't have it in the last two years because of virus restrictions.

From one of the pages:

AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers

Founded in 1984 the AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers are the world’s only formation wingwalking team and they are making a welcome return to the Festival this year.

I don't remember seeing this duet. I saw the Breitling Wingwalkers a number of times>. I planned to get on a ferry across the Channel to attend the Bournemouth festival but couldn't go. It was too complicated so I decided not to do the trip.
