FIRE crews from Kidderminster were called out to assist in the search for a crashed microlight.
They joined ambulance, police, fire and Severn Area Rescue Association staff who were out in large numbers after a report of a microlight aircraft going down in flames into wooded area on the Shropshire Worcestershire border.
The initial information suggested that it was close to Moffats School at Kinlet Hall at around 11.15am this morning.

A spokesman from ambulance service said that based on the initial information, it was important that a full search of the area was completed.
