Bad fortnight in the UK
There has been a midair today - sounds as if the glider pilot
parachuted out, but no word about the occupant(s) of the light aircraft. From the BBC photo[1] it looks like G-CXHZ, which is an LS4. This follows a fatality yesterday[2] and another at the Mynd two weeks ago[2] - a friend there tells me it was a spin in off the wire.

Better photograph in today's Metro G-CKHT, Standard Cirrus. This follows a fatality yesterday[2] and another at the Mynd two weeks ago[2] - a friend there tells me it was a spin in off the wire. I have been contacted with a gnomic suggestion that this description was wrong, but unfortunately the gnome didn't say what exactly happened. I am more than happy to make clear that my Mynd contact may have got it wrong. Ian
