A pilot has denied threatening to kill UKIP leader Nigel Farage.

Justin Adams, 45, appeared at Oxford Crown Court yesterday charged with making threats to kill the politician and Civil Aviation Authority investigator Martin James.

Adams, of Glenwood, Buckland, near Faringdon, was at the controls of a plane carrying Mr Farage and towing a UKIP banner when it crashed in Brackley on May 6.

He was remanded in custody until April 11.
