Horror at High Ham village hall.
This was the chaotic scene at High Ham Village Hall this afternoon as an airline pilot botched a loop-the-loop over South Somerset.
Local man Dave Linney, who can't be named for legal reasons, had taken off from nearby Pitney Airstrip and was attempting the cunning stunt in honour of Britain's new Prime Minister - Theresa May. But something went wrong...
The pilot was heard shouting "may day! may day!" out of the cockpit window as his aircraft plunged through the hall's front windows forcing locals, who were holding a village event, to run for cover.
"The buffet was destroyed and there were jellied eels everywhere" said the vicar.
The Air Accident Investigation Unit says it's looking into the incident...and 3 bowls of chicken drumsticks.
Mr Linney has been arrested and a plate of egg and cress sandwiches has been taken away for forensic testing.

It's believed the plane may have been brought down by a power surge from the roof of the nearby Kings Head where somebody was allegedly trying to plug in a hoover for the first time since 1956.
Police say a device similar to this one, pictured, was found thrown in a skip behind the pub a few hours ago.
"No, no, no....that's ours" said the landlord at The Langport Arms.
Details are still coming in.
