26-year-old British guy perishes in Malaga plane tragedy while taking flying lesson

A student pilot from the United Kingdom died when their plane crashed in Spain.

The 26-year-old was riding in a small airplane with a pilot from Spain when it had an accident and crashed in a national park in the province of Almeria in the region of Andalucia.

The accident occurred right after midnight on Wednesday.

The passenger doesn’t have a name yet, but we know the pilot is a 24-year-old named Rafael Ricote. He had a job teaching at a school that trains people to fly planes in Malaga.

They were flying from an airport in Velez-Malaga, which is east of Malaga. They were going towards the city of Valencia when the crash happened.

The couple had recently stopped at a nearby airport to fill up their vehicle before continuing their trip. They did not make any emergency calls before the accident happened.

The mountain rescue team from the Civil Guard found and brought back the bodies of the men who were in the crashed plane. The police and officials investigating aviation accidents are now conducting their own separate investigations.

A representative from a government organization that handles emergency response confirmed that two people died in a plane crash early on Wednesday morning in a town called Nijar.
A call for help was received at around 12:30 in the morning from Valencia Airport. They said they couldn’t reach a small airplane in the Cerro del Fraile area.

The person who called said that the plane belonged to a school that teaches people how to fly planes in Malaga. The plane was going to Valencia with two people inside it.

Firefighters and different police forces were quickly notified about the situation, along with coastguards, civil protection workers, and other people who can help.

Firefighters later reported that they had discovered the remains of two individuals in a hard to reach location near Cerro del Fraile.
