RIP Matt Wright (Balleka on YouTube)
Dreadful news coming from the UK today. Matt Wright (Balleka on YouTube) was tragically killed in a mid-air whilst flying his glider this weekend. I believe he collided with a power plane.
I'm sure we have all watched some of Matt's videos on YouTube over and over. He will be sorely missed. RIP Balleka and the Flying Shark |

I always enjoyed his well made and edited videos. Are any insights on what happened beyond the local news-blips out yet? RIP, Matt! Uli AS |

RIP Balleka and the Flying Shark sadly missed,condolences jon I believe there may be an element of confusion here as I believe there were 2 Fatal Gliding accident on 4 Dec in UK one on/near Dartmoor which may be Ballleka and another near Hus Bos which involved a mid air with a Cessna 150 RIP to both Aviators |

Balleka's Youtube videos were the best. they still are the best! and although we've lost him, he lives on through his videos, you can still see his happiness through the canopy while gliding. His videos still serve as an awesome example of why we do this,and why more people should. i agree, a terrible loss. |
