A plane crash which happened in Turweston Aerodrome earlier this year is being investigated, it has been confirmed.
The light aircraft had its propeller and wing damaged and was forced to come to a stop at 4.50pm on June 13.
The pilot submitted a report to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch that the plane had crashed with four traffic cones on the edge of the runway.

It said: "The pilot found that the right mainwheel had struck a stack of four traffic cones at the northern edge of the grass runway, beyond which was tall grass separating it from the adjacent asphalt runway. The pilot considered that the accident would not have occurred had he planned beforehand to remain no more than one wingspan away from the left runway edge.
"It is likely he would not have found this difficult in the prevailing conditions, as he reported his recent experience included several flights in similarly configured Tiger Moth aircraft.
Despite the damage to the propeller-driven plane, no one was injured in the crash, the report confirmed.
