Skydiver and pilot died 'after safety mix up'

A mix up over where it was safe for parachutists and glider pilots to jump and fly at their airfield could have led to the deaths of two men, an British inquest heard today.

Skydiver Phillip Cheasley, 24, and glider pilot Jon Crew, 69, both died of multiple injuries after the parachutist smashed into the wing of the aircraft about 2,000 feet above Hinton-in-the-Hedges airfield in Northamptonshire, Britain on June 1 last year.
