Aircraft death family receive £245,000

The family of an ex-SAS man who died after ejecting from his aeroplane have been awarded £245,000 compensation. The accident occurred in 2002 when the brakes of the private aeroplane that the man was flying failed when he landed at an airport. The aeroplane crashed through a fence and onto the M11 motorway, whereupon he activated his ejector seat and died from injuries incurred by the impact.
