A light aircraft crashed into a field of sugar beet after running out of fuel in mid-air, an investigation found.

The 56-year-old pilot "force-landed" the Team Mini-Max at Northrepps Airfield, Norfolk, in December.

He admitted an "unfamiliarity" with the "aircraft and its fuel consumption", the air accident report said.
