Glider Towplane Mid-air – TP PowerFLARM Inop

Correct, bunted and midair entered on my tablet. Dratted autocorrect. It has just done the same again. I should have proof read before hitting post.

To answer another question - the perspex of my canopy departed from the shock of the collision. I found myself pointing at the ground, hanging from my straps in the open air. However I have no doubt there would have been plenty of time to jettison the canopy. The pilot of the other glider an ASW27 with a forward hinged canopy (and spinning with a wing broken off) managed to exit without jettisoning the canopy. Neither of us was hurt - we were amazingly lucky. Incidentally this was in 2003 - I am convinced that this was one crash which would have been prevented by Flarm.
