... is a good landing! This aircraft was inbound to Cardiff on the afternoon of 28th October 1998 when it had to make a forced landing in the Bristol Channel. The pilot escaped without serious injury, but the aircraft remained on the mudflats and was submerged by a number of high tides before it was recovered. However, it never made it further than this field a short distance from the scene where it has remained ever since.
