Vic pilot unharmed after plane flips

A pilot has escaped unharmed after his plane flipped over while he was making an emergency landing in a Victorian paddock.

After encountering difficulties the male pilot of the light plane sought permission to land in a paddock in Lethbridge, near Meredith.

While attempting to land, the aircraft hit a rock which caused the plane to flip onto its roof about 2.15pm (AEDT) on Saturday, police say.

The lone pilot aboard the plane escaped uninjured.
