An investigation into an aircraft crash at a country estate is to take place - just days after a report into a collision at the same venue was published. 

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) will hold an inquiry following a crash involving a Jodel D18 light aircraft at Heveningham Hall, near Halesworth.

Emergency services were called to the estate at about 1pm on Sunday. The Heveningham Hall Country Fair was taking place at the time of the aircraft crash.

A spokesman for the hall has confirmed the aircraft did not form part of the Aviation Concours, which takes place alongside the fair, and was a public fly-in airplane.

Two people were taken to hospital with minor injuries and were released later on Sunday. 

An AAIB spokesperson said: "An accident involving a light aircraft which occurred on Sunday at Heveningham Hall was notified to the AAIB. We have commenced an investigation."

It comes after a report into an aircraft crash at the same venue on July 6 last year was published last Thursday.

Investigators at the AAIB believe a Grumman FM2 Wildcat, a Second World War fighter plane, overturned after its landing gear dug into a softer sub-soil after touching down.

The aircraft flipped over and ended upside down.

Other aircraft had landed on the same runway prior to the crash. 

A report said the rapid deceleration, combined with the size and mass of the engine that was no longer producing any thrust, caused it to flip over.

The report finished in conclusion with organisers stating a serious of safety improvements and risk assessments would be carried out.

The pilot was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries, but not life-threatening injuries and was able to attend the country fair the following day.
