Et voici le sujet de la BBC:

quote:

"Five killed in light plane crash

Five people have been killed in a mid-air collision between two light aircraft in Warwickshire.

The first plane came down near Coombe Abbey, Brinklow, five miles from Coventry Airport about 1140 BST, West Midlands Ambulance Service said.

The second aircraft crashed in nearby Brandon Woods, the spokesman added.

One person in the first plane and four people in the second aircraft were all confirmed dead at the scene. Their identities have not yet been revealed.

It is understood both planes were making their final approach to the airport when they collided.

Air accident investigators and the emergency services are at the scene. "

l'un des deux appareils, le bimoteur Cessna 402 accidenté, était un avion d'affaires immatriculé G-EYES, plus de précisions :

The Cessna aircraft was owned by Reconnaissance Ventures Ltd (RVL), which is based at Coventry Airport and carried out survey work for government agencies and private firms.
One of the planes that crashed was a Cessna 402

Colin Dennis, RVL's managing director, said the aircraft had been taking an "entirely routine flight" and was on a "perfectly normal" approach to Coventry Airport at the time of the crash.

"It was approximately two miles from the runway," he said.

"We believe it had been cleared to land by Coventry Airport air traffic control when it was in collision with a smaller, single-engine light aircraft."
