A pilot has been taken to hospital after his plane plunged into the ground nose-first shortly after takeoff.
The light aircraft crashed at Chiswell Green airfield in Hertfordshire, prompting two fire engines and an air ambulance to be dispatched.
A Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman told MailOnline: ‘We were called to reports of a light aircraft having gone nose down after take-off.
‘We sent two fire engines. We think there was one person on board the aircraft but we do not have any updates about his condition.’
