DELTA, B.C. - Two people walked away from a small plane crash in Delta, B.C.
 
Delta police say a Second-World-War-era plane crashed while trying to take off at the city's heritage air park.

Cooper says both passengers suffered minor injuries and save for a few trees and shrubs, no property was damaged.

Cooper says there were no explosions and no fire, and the Transportation Safety Board has taken over the investigation.
