Newman Plane Incident Charge A 37-year-old man was charged today in relation to him taxiing a propeller driven Beechcraft 2-seater aircraft (minus wings) through Newman to the Newman Hotel (purple pub) on Friday 31 October 2014 at about 2.10 pm.
It will be alleged that he had just bought the aircraft from a private residence and was taking it home on the other side of the town, but stopped at the pub.
On examination it was found to have an exposed fuel line hanging from the side of the aircraft attached to an unsecured jerry can inside the cabin to enable the engine to run. On stopping the aircraft, the accused left the engine in a potentially dangerous condition with the ignition on.
The accused does not hold a pilots licence and the roads were busy with other vehicles and pedestrians at the time.
The accused has been charged with Endanger Life, Health or Safety of a Person and is due to appear in the Newman Magistrates Court on 18 November 2014.
