On 4 August at around 10:30 (UTC +1), a Piper PA-28 light aircraft (registered G-BCJN) carrying one pilot and two passengers crashed into a ditch next to the A429 after overshooting the runway at Cotswold Airport, United Kingdom. The three were taken to hospital. 

The adjacent road (A429) was closed for several hours to remove debris and fuel.

The U.K.’s Air Accident Investigation Branch is opening an investigation into the mishap.

In the evening of 4 August, a Twitter user posted the following footage. The light aircraft is flying in between a stored Red Wings Airbus A321 and a TAP Air Portugal aircraft. Another Twitter user indicates that the light aircraft clips the nose gear of the Red Wings aircraft.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
