A PLANE slammed into a wall at Crosland Moor airfield.
It is thought to have overshot the runway while trying to take off on Sunday.
The pilot is believed to have scrambled clear unhurt but was left shocked by the impact.
The plane remains embedded in the wall today with one wing badly damaged.
No one was available at the airfield for comment about the accident.
A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority said: "As far as I am aware the accident has not been reported to us yet, but it may be it is working its way through the system.
"We do not investigate aircraft accidents.
"That role is done by the Air Accident Investigation branch of the Department of Transport."
He said investigations are usually only carried out if it is felt something can be learned from a plane crash.
The airfield was used from the 1940s by engineering mogul Sir David Brown who used to fly his private plane from there to business meetings in the UK and Europe.
There have been two fatal accidents at the airfield over the last 17 years.
A microlight pilot lost his life in May 1988 on the same day two men had a lucky escape when their plane crashed and overturned.
In September 1996 a 69-year-old Bradford man died when his replica of a Royal Navy Fury plane plunged 100ft after taking off and disintegrating on impact.
In March 1999 a plane nosedived down a steep banking at the airfield when its brakes failed.
That pilot escaped unhurt.
