Wasp helicopter makes forced landing near Salisbury- no injuries

”A HELICOPTER “came down with a bump” in a farmer’s field this morning.

The privately owned, former Royal Navy helicopter, performed an emergency landing at about 9.40 in a field of crops in Bishopstone, near the recreational ground.

The pilots, Terry Martin and Gail Barkes, escaped unhurt.

Gail said: “It was a controlled landing due to engineering difficulties.

“We landed in a turnip field, unfortunately.

“It’s a vintage naval helicopter and we were on our way to an event.”
