Three Britons Killed in Separate Air Crashes

Three people died and four others were injured in three light aircraft crashes in Britain on Saturday.

Two adults and two children were rescued from a Cessna 182 plane that burst into flames on landing at an airfield in Cornwall, southwest England. The adults were taken to hospital but their condition was not known, a police spokesman said.

Also on the same day, two people died after their two-seater microlight crashed into trees at Harthall, south Shropshire. Later a man was killed when his glider crashed in a field in Northamptonshire.

All three accidents would be investigated by Britain's air accident authorities.
