"They've done their best to put the plane down but it bounced over one fence and they just managed to lie it into one of the ditches."
There is a small runway on the farm which the pilot had attempted to use, Meyer said.
"They did make a good attempt at trying to land," he said
"The plane did catch on fire so there were some flames, but they've come out unscathed and no animals were hurt because there's a dairy farm here and it could've well been that the cows were in the paddock. It seems to be all OK."
