Two people died during a flight experience when their light aircraft crashed in a field, police have said.<\/b><\/p>\n

The two-seat Cessna plane came down off Mill Lane in High Ongar, Essex, at about 12:30 BST on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It had set off from North Weald Airfield on “what was expected to be a short journey,” Det Ch Supt Morgan Cronin said.<\/p>\n

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) described it as an “accident” and said its inspectors’ inquiries were ongoing.<\/p>\n

At a press conference in High Ongar, Cronin said the victims were yet to be formally identified.<\/p>\n

“The two-seat Cessna aircraft was carrying out a short flying experience flight but, sadly, it did not return,” Cronin told reporters.<\/p>\n

“This is likely to be a complex process and one we will approach sensitively and compassionately.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Police were called by members of the public who witnessed the plane crash into the field.<\/p>\n

Investigators remained at the scene on Wednesday and were expected to be there over the coming days.<\/p>\n

Cronin pledged to treat the victims’ families with “dignity and respect” while working to give them answers.<\/p>\n

“We’re also speaking to those who called emergency services and who witnessed what will have been a distressing incident,” Cronin added.<\/p>\n

In a post on Facebook, the village’s St Mary’s Church said: “Please join us in praying for everyone involved, for the emergency services responding and for all those in our local community who have been affected.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
