    Apparently the plane was towing a banner with the slogan "Vote for your country - Vote UKIP". Depending on whom you believe, the banner was either caught up in the engine...

    My sympathies to the pilot, I hope he recovers.. But I know one shouldn't laugh.. it's just too much for me.

    Hopefully they recorded it for the next edition of "When Stunts Go Wrong".

    The majority cannot therefore be the elite.

    Banner: 100 quid
    Plane: 350/hour
    Plane crash on election day just in time for the daily news cycle: Priceless

    Farage survived, above he is being helped out of the overturned aircraft. The pilot is a bit worse off with more complicated injuries to back and upper body.
