Emergency services raced to Beccles Aerodrome on the Suffolk-Norfolk border just before 12:10pm after a light aircraft crashed on approach to landing.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch has been notified, and police have cordoned off part of the airfield.

Beccles Aerodrome is a small airfield near the market town of Beccles, used by private pilots and recreational flyers.

Police, fire crews, paramedics and an air ambulance all attended; the injuries are not believed to be serious.

An aerodrome spokesman said: 'The crew have now left the airfield; we hope that everyone involved is okay.'
