    Fire crews from as far away as Ipswich and Gorleston were called to the scene of a light aircraft crash which happened on Tuesday morning.

    Emergency services were at the scene of the incident on the Ellough Airfield, just after 1030… when a ‘Gyro-copter’ with one person on board crashed on take-off.

    The aircraft was made safe - with the pilot of the aircraft receiving treatment from the ambulance service.

    The busy airfield which is the home to UK Parachuting and lots of other light aircraft - was open again for flying after a couple of hours of the crash.
