A pilot who died in a light aircraft collision in Northamptonshire has been named as Londoner Adam Abraham.

The 39-year-old, from south-west London, crashed at Hinton-in-the-Hedges airfield - the same place Ukip leader Nigel Farage was injured in another air crash in 2010.

A spokesman for East Midlands Ambulance Service said it received a call just after midday to reports of a light aircraft crash, and was on the scene in minutes, calling for back-up from the air ambulance.

He added: "Our crews provided care to a male patient on scene with serious injuries. He was not conveyed to hospital."

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch in Farnborough, Hampshire, has launched an investigation and will be supported by Northamptonshire Police.

Ukip leader Mr Farage had to be pulled from the crushed cockpit of a plane after an election banner caused it to crash in May 2010.

He suffered broken ribs, bruised lungs and facial injuries in the accident.
