Two people rescued after plane crashes near pub in Kent

A plane has crashed next to a pub in Kent, shortly after taking off from the airport.

Ruth Samson, 49, and Timothy Nathan, 65, had just taken off from Rochester at about 11am when their light aircraft suddenly lost power.

It came down near Common Road in the village of Blue Bell Hill, near Chatham, getting stuck 40ft up in a tree.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service rushed to the scene close to the 700-year-old Robin Hood pub.

At least 20 emergency service vehicles were called, including seven fire engines to rescue Ms Samson and Mr Nathan.
