A terrified aircraft passenger leapt from a plane as it prepared to crash land with engine failure.
The unnamed man became gripped with panic when the two-seater Tiger Moth lost power at 1,000ft.
As the pilot made a 40mph emergency approach to land at a farm the passenger unstrapped his safety belt, climbed on to the wing and jumped out.

Investigators found that in two earlier flights in the plane the same passenger closed the throttle "without warning".
Bizarrely, he said he had done it because he wanted to give pilots the "opportunity to practise unplanned forced landing procedures". He denied closing the throttle on the latest occasion.
