As reported elsewhere here, an experienced British pilot crashed his
18m turbo Ventus in a remote area of Scotland. Judging from the
photos, it looks more like an outlanding in rough terrain. The injured
pilot remained in the cockpit until he was found over 24 hours later.
Early reports suggest he'll be ok, though he has broken bones.

From the accident scene photos, it doesn't appear the engine was
deployed. It'll be interesting to hear the details of this one.

BBC News Scotland has reports and video available online.

The incident has renewed calls for compulsory beacons in gliders in
Britain.

I would never ski, four wheel drive, fly, bush walk, etc without one
compulsory or not.

Stupidity for not buying one how much is your life worth ?
