The Otago Daily Times understands a rabbit hole may have been responsible for upending the plane. The pilot suffered moderate injuries from the crash at an airstrip in Cromwell at 1.30pm.

A police spokeswoman said reports suggested the Vans RV-7A aircraft had experienced a ‘‘hard landing’’.

A St John spokesman said one person was taken to the Cromwell Medical Centre with moderate injuries.

The aircraft is registered to a Balclutha owner.
