The owner of the microlight plane which crashed during a test flight on Friday says he'll be back in the air - as soon as he's recovered.

70 year old Ken Wright suffered only minor fractures when the machine - which he'd built from a kit - crashed in the Bride Hills near Andreas.

Ken was travelling with the test pilot - who is more seriously injured and remains in hospital.

He says he can hardly believe they both escaped with their lives.

Ken remained conscious as they waited for help to arrive:
