A 60-year-old woman died when her glider crashed into Hampshire farmland yesterday.
The aircraft came down five miles south of Basingstoke at around noon yesterday.
No one else was hurt, and the woman's next of kin have been informed.
Firefighters from Basingstoke and Cosham were called to the scene just after 12pm, where the glider, powered by a small back-up engine, had come down in the uncut field.
A team of investigators from the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) was also called to the scene at Southwood Farm, in Preston Candover.
A spokesman for Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service said two appliances from Basingstoke and one from Cosham attended the crash.
