Vintage plane crash lands at Ohakea

A vintage twin-engined plane carrying nine people crash-landed at Ohakea Air Base near Palmerston North this morning.

Ohakea Base public information officer Paul Stein told NZPA the plane, a De Havilland Devon, crashed about 10.20am on the runway after calling in an emergency landing.

Nobody was injured.

"It did a belly-flop ... and there's a little bit of wreckage still on the runway," he said.

Mr Stein said the plane had come from Hamilton and was on its way to Wellington.
