Fatal Microlight crash.

Postby Fozzer » Sun Apr 05, 2009 11:34 am

Right on my doorstep....EGBS Shobdon...>>>>

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

Sad news.

Paul.

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

Normally, pretty "Crash-proof", with its stable, low speed.

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