A sad incident.

Hi Rob
It is a very sad incident, but, thankfully there were no serious injuries. Most of us who are based at Bruntingthorpe know the pilot / owner of this aircraft well, and he is a very experienced and diligent man, who has flown most of us in this aircraft at one time or another. The aircraft can be replaced, but thankfully we still have our friend, that is all that really matters.
The aircraft has always been treated with piles of TLC, and had only just returned to the field from it’s annual inspection, so was in very good condition.
