BROKEN & BATTERED

AN EXPERIENCED pilot was left "broken and battered" after crashing his glider nose-first into a field at 70mph.

David Carus, then 69, was trapped face down in the wreckage after the aircraft plunged to the ground near Scotlandwell, Kinross-shire.

The pensioner, now 71, was unable to see out of one eye and was forced to manipulate a badly broken arm back into position as he waited for help.

Witnesses from the nearby airfield raced to his aid with a farmer using a tractor to lift the glider off him.

Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) flew him to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.
