On Facebook, an eyewitness claimed she was walking her dog when she saw a man jumping out of the plane with a parachute.

“I saw the whole thing happen as I was just walking the dogs at the time, I think I was one of the first to call for the emergency services, scared the bloody life outta me,” Tisa Kilby wrote.

She added that she “happened to look up to see a plane and a man jumping out”.

“Thought to myself, that’s an odd place to be parachuting, then realised that the plane was just coming straight down and in a matter of seconds heard it hit the flats, literally feet from where I was walking.”
