on 14th November flying his Stemme. He was a very experienced
pilot. Does anyone have any further news about this?

The Times report said that the crash happened during a comp and that the
rescue helicopter had to battle strong winds and driving rain. The
Omarama club spokesman described the weather as demanding but not bad
enough to cancel the task.

The crash was described as being on a high scree near Mt. Prospect, 30
km west of Omarama, and reported that the fuselage was intact but that
the wings were in three pieces.
