Bi-plane lands on Barwon Heads beach

Holiday makers have run for safety when a vintage bi-plane made an emergency landing on a crowded beach at Barwon Heads.

The bi-plane reportedly suffered engine failure when it was forced to make the emergency landing at about 1.30pm.

Witnesses said up to 100 beachgoers watched the landing, before two men exited the plane.

“I heard someone screaming for us to get out of the way and turned around and saw it,” witness Alex Keynes told News Ltd.
