Gardaí appeal for pilot of plane in crash scare to come forward

GARDAI have called on the pilot of a mystery aircraft, which sparked off a major search operation in west Kerry after reports that it had crashed on Monday evening, to come forward.

Dingle-based Sgt Mossie O’Donnell yesterday said there was a plane around the Lispole area at the time the alarm was raised and it was seen heading in a southerly direction towards Glenbeigh, Co Kerry.

“We’re trying to trace the plane so as to clear up the situation,” he said.
