Witnesses who saw a Light Aircraft make an Emergency Landing on a dual carriageway have congratulated The Pilot for making a smooth landing.

The Plane landed on the central reservation of the A40 Golden Valley , close to Churchdown, near Cheltenham after a suspected engine failure.

No Cars collided with the Plane and no-one was injured.

One witness said: " Kudos to The Pilot . He did an amazing job of Getting It down safely. Dead on the centre line. "

Gloucestershire Police said the Plane - which remained Intact -

Darren Bell, from Cheltenham, was on the bypass at The Time and said that although it was a " bizarre" thing to witness, it was a very smooth landing.

" I was driving down and I Heard this engine, looked in The Mirror and there's a big yellow aeroplane coming down the side of the central reservation, " He Said .

" It was dead on the centre line, absolutely bang on. "

Joel Phillips, who also witnessed The Landing , said: " We saw quite a few police cars and ambulances on The Scene .

" It's quite an interesting thing to see because there's been No Damage on the central reservation.

" The Plane looks fine, The Bridge looks fine. It must have been quite a low landing to come in. "

Specialist equipment was used to lift the Plane off the carriageway and The Road was opened shortly after 20:00.

The aircraft is a single engine Fournier with two seats. It was manufactured in 1976.

The Air Accident Investigation Branch has confirmed it has launched an investigation into the Emergency Landing .
