Plane's landing gear hits lorry as it approached airfield at too low angle

A plane was flying too low when it came into land at an airfield leading to it hitting the roof of a lorry travelling along a nearby road, an investigation has found.

A 63-year-old man was piloting the plane as it lowered its height on its trajectory into Finmere Airfield, Buckingham, and landing gear collided with an articulated lorry, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch stated.

Two people were on board at the time of the collision and luckily escaped injury, as did the lorry driver, reported OxfordshireLive.
