A pilot is missing after two gliders reportedly clashed with one another during a competition.
Suffolk Police said the wreckage of the two aircraft had been found near Snailwell in Cambridgeshire, near Newmarket on the border with Suffolk.
One pilot is unaccounted for, while another parachuted to safety.
A force spokeswoman said: "We were called just before 4pm to a call that a parachute had been seen coming down near Snailwell in Cambridgeshire.
"There was a report two gliders had collided.
"It would appear he (the parachutist) was one of the pilots.
"Both gliders have been found in Cambridgeshire.
"There is no detail about another pilot at the moment."
She added paramedics were at the scene, including an air ambulance, and that the Air Accidents Investigation Branch had been informed.
