Man describes moment he heard plane engine 'bang'
Steve Holyoake has described the moment he heard a light aircraft crash land in a field in Leicestershire.
"We heard a plane going over, we heard a bang and the engine stopped," he said, "he was banking left to right, I would imagine trying to sight somewhere to put the plane down, and we ran to the top of the garden, to see if we could see what was happening, and I lost sight of it."
