A Polish military plane carrying officials taking part in an aviation safety conference crashed in northern Poland this evening, with at least one of the 10 people on board feared dead, emergency service officials said.

"According to the information we received from the air force there were 10 people on board, including 4 crew," a fire department spokesman Pawel Fratczak told TVN24 television.

TVN24 said at least one person died in the crash, which occurred as the Spanish-made CASA 295m transport plane was approaching a military airport for landing.
