The fire service sent appliances from Swindon and Stratton fire stations. More firefighters attended the scene in a Land Rover, together with two fire officers.
Station Manager Wayne Presley told the Adver fire crews had made the scene safe. “The main concern for us was the fuel itself. The aviation fuel was the main hazard for the fire service. The aircraft was in a field of standing crop, so with a day like today fire can spread.
Fire and ambulance crews leave the scene at 3.30pm
