As I understand it, a low-flying aircraft on approach to Southend Airport has clipped the overhead wires at Hockley station, resulting in what I believe is a total power loss (at the time of typing this!).
I am told this was a small aircraft, and I haven't heard any reports that it has made an emergency landing, but I am willing to be corrected.
This incident occurred at or before 1204hrs.
This is the latest from NRE:
