RAF release footage of passenger's aircraft landing
Dramatic footage of a plane being landed, by a man who'd never before taken the controls of an aircraft, has been released by the RAF. John Wildey landed the light aircraft at Humberside Airport last week after the pilot collapsed at the controls, and later died.
Today footage from an RAF Leconfield helicopter shows the astonishing touchdown, after Mr Wildey was guided in by a flight instructor and air traffic controllers. Sally Simpson reports.
