After a plane fell into the water, injuring two people at the Bournemouth Air Festival, an eyewitness described how a pilot avoided a "catastrophe." On Saturday, a wing-walker plane crashed away from the exhibition area off the coast of Bournemouth. Alan Badenhorst assisted in the rescue of the couple by hauling them onto his boat in Poole Harbour. According to Dorset Police, the crew suffered minor injuries. He described the pilot's performance as a "great feat of flying." When Mr Badenhorst observed the low-flying aircraft, he was in a dinghy with his partner and their three young children. "He remarked, "The plane continued dropping lower and lower." "The plane then slammed into the ocean and flipped over." The father of one, from Wareham, Dorset, said his family then rushed to the Aerosuperbatics plane's help, dragging the pilot and a woman from the sea and into their dinghy. According to him, the plane sank shortly after. "

Following accusations that he helped obtain an accolade for a Saudi contributor, a former close assistant to Prince Charles stood aside temporarily from his post as chief executive of a royal organization. Michael Fawcett coordinated assistance for Saudi businessman Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz, according to the Sunday Times and Mail on Sunday publications. According to The Times, the billionaire gave The Prince's Foundation more than 1.5 million pounds ($2.1 million) to fund heritage restoration projects of importance to Charles, including properties he used. At a private ceremony in 2016, Charles awarded Mahfouz an honorary CBE, or Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, according to the story. Saudi Arabia denies any wrongdoing. In a statement, the Prince's Foundation stated Fawcett offered to temporarily step down as the organization's top executive while an inquiry is conducted. Fawcett will help with the probe, according to the report. Fawcet
