The trainee pilot died in the crash on to the M11

This follows an accident on 2 June 2002, when a privately-owned former Soviet air force two-seat L-39 military jet trainer aircraft came to rest on the M11 motorway after going through the boundary fence at Duxford in Cambridgeshire.

The airfield authorities insist there is no need to review arrangements to prevent aircraft landing or aborting take-offs from running on to the M11.

The Air Accident Investigations Board report said the student pilot, Gary Clarke, 45, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, had reported a brake failure as he and his instructor came in to land at Duxford.

Ejection seat

The instructor steered the aircraft to the right as it approached an embankment between the runway and the motorway, but after moving through 20 to 30 degrees, the rudder became ineffective.

The plane went through the wooden boundary fence and on to the M11.

As the plane ran down the motorway embankment, the front ejection seat fired.

Mr Clarke's parachute did not have sufficient time to deploy and he was killed after striking the ground.

The plane slid across the north carriageway of the M11, struck the central crash barrier and came to rest on the southbound carriageway.

'Runway safe'

There were no collisions with cars and the 39-year-old instructor, who had remained in the aircraft, was unhurt.

At the time emergency workers said it was a "miracle" no vehicles on the motorway had been hit by the plane.

The accident investigators call for a review of current landing and take-off arrangements

In the wake of the report Duxford was insisting that its runway was safe.
