Twin Squirrel crash
A Twin Squirrel has come down near Hurstbourne Tarrant in
Hampshire, 3 people are reported to have been killed. This is next to my airfield (Bourne Park). http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/h...et/3257236.stm It was reported to have just taken off from Thruxton. I was watching some helicopters flying at Thruxton on Wednesday while having lunch there (flew in for fuel), including what looked like a squirrel. Paul
