That crash

The man in that crash was a good friend of my best mate.
You guys are being so nice and caring. Thanks.

It’s a tragedy, and yes, that plane did do banner towing.
What’s worse is that the Holiday camp have seized the airfield, so that makes two losses for my friend.

I came across this because I was wondering what the news coverage was like. People don’t seem to know the whole story.

Thanks for the info guys 🙁 How unfortunate 🙁

I normally watch BBC South East for local news, however didnt see it, I must of missed it.

Thanks again guys 🙁

Yep Confirmed 🙁 Anna 🙁

Was it really G-OMAC? That’s normally seen banner towing……. 🙁

Yes 🙁 I think it was 🙁 Anna

Crikey West Sussex, thats abit close to home 😮 🙁
Ain’t heard anything about it, local news coverage in Sussex is poor 🙁
Normally the only aircraft we get in West Sussex are the ones going to Gatwick.

It was near a holiday site around the Bracklesham Bay Area ! Anna 🙁

Saw both accidents on the local news tonight.

Here’s the BBC report on the one near Selsey:

It was this Cessna 172.

Looked like it spun in judging by the wreckage. 🙁
