A dad-of-three has been tragically killed and a community left reeling after his microlight aircraft crashed into a field.
Michael Flynn, a plumber in his 60s, was piloting the plane in County Clare, Ireland, before he lost control on Sunday afternoon.
He was pronounced dead at the scene in Miltown Malbay following the incident at around 4.45pm before firefighters, paramedics and police were dispatched, reports the Irish Mirror.
