Notwithstanding the pilot's impressive account of the incident we don't yet know the underlying cause. I too am hoping and, in my case, betting that Jonker Sailplanes will not be seriously affected in the long term (any more than SH was by their spar problem) providing that they respond promptly and appropriately, as I expect they will. Speaking as one who went ahead with a JS1 order yesterday - after hearing about this accident.
