Police have released photos showing the wreckage of the plane that crashed into a Chigwell field, killing two people.
The images, which were taken on Saturday afternoon (October 3) during forensic examinations, shows the total extent of the damage after the Beechcraft King Air 200 went to ground in a field off Gravel Lane, Chigwell.
Parts of the eight-seater aircraft, which was reported as ‘100 per cent alight’ following the crash at about 10.20am, can clearly be seen scattered across a wide area.
Essex Police and air accident investigators are still working at the crash site, and a cordon is expected to remain in place today as the recovery operation continues.
David Sullivan and David Gold were due to fly from the airfield to their team’s Premier League match with Sunderland on Saturday, and were planning on using one off two light aircraft available – including the King Air 200.
The two men had to make alternative arrangements when they arrived at the airfield to find it already closed after the crash.
