A SECOND plane crash in two days in the UK has occurred at a festival organised by the BBC presenter Chris Evans. Evans has confirmed that the pilot of the plane was killed, and that has family had been informed.
Crowds at CarFest in Oulton Park, Cheshire fell silent on Saturday afternoon (August 1), where hundreds witnessed something go horribly wrong in a flight display.

Witnesses reported seeing no sign of an ejector seat and smoke rising from the site where the plane came down.

Evans tweeted: “I am very sad to announce there has been a serious air incident at CarFest North off site. The emergency services are in attendance.”
