Yak 18 crashes in Stellenbosch field.

Cape Town - A witness has described how the pilot of a light aircraft on Thursday took off from the Stellenbosch airfield and then desperately tried to turn and land again. Instead, he crashed and died.
The drama unfolded just south of the Stellenbosch airfield on Thursday at around 1.30pm.
A witness told the police the plane took off, but that he had heard “strange noises”.
“They saw the pilot trying to turn the plane, but he did not succeed and the plane crashed to the ground at Brakersdal Farm on Annandale Road, and caught fire.”
