Two killed as plane used in advert crashes
TWO people were killed when a plane crashed the day after featuring in Britain's first live telly ad.
The Pilatus PC-6 was one of two aircraft used in the Honda ad on Channel 4 on Thursday evening.
Viewers saw 19 sky-divers leap from 14,000ft over Spain and spell out the word Honda as they plunged to the ground.
But on Friday, the plane fell to the ground "like a piece of lead" near an airfield at Toledo, 60 miles from Madrid, during a parachute drop.
The Spanish pilot and a Brazilian free-fall diver died. Six other people were injured, two seriously.
