A light aircraft plunged into a field north of Perth on Saturday, with the two men on board surviving the crash with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said the pilot of the single-engine aircraft crashed near the Greenside private airfield, off Brand Highway in Muchea, north-east of Perth, this morning.  The aircraft crashed around 250 metres from the airfield's runway.

Wow, terrible news as looks a hard hit and engine ripped out, likely an RV6 or similar.  Hope they fully recover quickly.

Zoom in on the photo possibly shows VH-FSM which matches the area of operation.

Yes, if you look carefully at this image from the channel 7 news website you can see it's VH-FSM.

 

God speed their recoveries!

As an owner of a RV6A with a similar paint scheme the pics of the crashed aircraft are somewhat disturbing. Thankfully not a fatal accident. The damage to the leading edge at the outbound end of the fuel tank and failure of the engine mounts in overload have me wondering what has happened here. Hopefully the ATSB will do one of their quick investigations.

A lot of decelerative force. Maybe it stalled? RoD? Nev

Looks compression from port leading edge tip and engine out port side of cowl.

It's certainly a fair whack. Nev

There was some Later advice that they were not in good shape. Sorry I lost the reference to it. Someone may be able to help out.  Nev
