Bloody hell, glad the pilot's okay though. Light planes and Canterbury, name a more iconic duo…

another one? what's going on with these planes lately

Tom Harris2026-07-20T23:34:18.000Z

engineer here — this is the third one this month. Something's rotten.

Lucky bugger. Probably thought he was having a normal Tuesday, now he's got a story for life.

Grace Patel2026-07-21T00:07:18.000Z

ffs again? Kirwee paddocks are cursed

Just after 11am and already a crash. CAA asleep at the wheel as usual?

Cameron Diaz2026-07-21T01:16:18.000Z

lol assuming CAA would ever do anything. they're busy counting their salaries.

Main thing is he walked away. Planes can be replaced, people can't.

Sage Lawson2026-07-21T01:14:18.000Z

chur bro happy he's okay but now the wreck's gonna be a tourist attraction for months

Chloe Martin2026-07-21T00:52:18.000Z

yeah nah he's fine but what about the plane wreckage? farmers gonna have to clean that up

Riley Scott2026-07-21T01:07:18.000Z

Rural airstrips are getting sketchy tbh. Heard they're cutting maintenance budgets again.

typical council blame game. just say you wanna privatize everything and go.
