A pilot crashed his light aircraft after a satnav directed him to an airfield that ‘does not appear to exist’, accident investigators said.

The 53-year-old man was attempting to fly to a landing strip in rural Aberdeenshire which was listed on the database of his Garmin GPS navigation device, according to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch in a report published on Friday.
