Your bizarre election day story. I hope the pilot makes it OK - Farage is only lightly injured.

The plane carrying two people crashed at Hinton in the Hedges Airfield at Steane, near Brackley, at 0759 BST.
...
Mr Farage was taken to hospital in Banbury with non-life threatening injuries, and the pilot was transferred to Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry.

The pilot, who was trapped in the wreckage, is believed to be more seriously injured.

The aircraft was was due to circle with a banner over Buckingham, where Mr Farage is standing as a candidate, the spokesman said.

This and BBC radio seem to say the plane banked, and the banner got tangled - possibly in the propellor.
