Hi all, A colour photograph of a glider missing its starboard wing and about to contact terra firma was published in the UK "The Daily Telegraph" on May 24 2006. The caption read as follows: "A crippled glider plunges out of control after its wing broke during an approach for a landing during the Swiss glider championships in Bern-Belp. The pilot, helpless and unable to get out of his craft, died in the crash seconds later". The registration number, HD-2229, is very clear in the photo.
Does anyone have any other details of this unfortunate event? Regards, Geoff Vincent VH-GAX Grampians Soaring Club -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
