They walked away from the Socata TB-10 unaided and no-one else was injured.

Both were taken to A&E and treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Airport director Colin Le Ray said that the private non-local single-engine aircraft reported difficulties shortly after take-off at 5.02pm

Residents were evacuated because of the fire risk - they were allowed to return to their houses and the road reopened shortly before 10.30pm.

It is hoped to move the plane tomorrow.

Civil Protection volunteers will protect the site overnight.
