Two people have died in a light aircraft crash in County Down.

It happened at Newtownards Airport last night - which is home to the Ulster Flying Club.

James Gould reports from the scene.

Few Details

Police say they received a report at 20:20 last night that a light aircraft had crashed at the airport.

Emergency services attended the crash site, but it was confirmed this morning that two people were pronounced dead at the scene.

With very few details available at the minute, it's unclear if the victims were part of the Ulster Flying Club.

A small police presence remains at the  scene here, with access to the airport cordoned off from the public.
