A popular Airfield for 3-Axis Fixed Wing, and Flexwing Microlights who regularly visit, and very unusual for them to have accidents.

Sad news.

A peek at the tubular wreckage from a distance in the photo, it looks rather like the popular Thruster T600 Microlight....>>>>

"Mocrolighters" are a happy band of enthusiastic Flyers!

Could be anything Paul as apparently it caught fire. Microlights come in all shapes & sizes these days.
