I have referred this to the Bendigo Flying Club to see why they are poaching our territory. :-)

NEW VERSION KL 14.30. A glider crashed in the northern parts of the county
yesterday afternoon. Plane was broken and was hanging in a birch. The pilot
walk away with a small wound on a finger. 


It was a participant in Eskilstuna Open, a major international
segelflygtävling, which crashed up in the Bergslagen. 
-- It is about a finnish carts, "says Torbjörn Carlson, press officer at
Örebropolisen. 
Planes both wings was broken and aircraft with the cockpit was left hanging
tree. 
The accident occurred at the 16-time on Monday. 
-- I sat and watched on television when I heard that there smällde. I rushed
out to see what happened. Then I saw the aircraft in birch, "says a man who
lives nearby. 
-- I ran away to the plane and saw how the pilot jumped down. 


According to Bosse Christensson, President of the Bendigo Flygklubb hosting
flygtävlingen, is this type of crashes very rare. 
-- Sure, there are always landing on the measure, and then there is risk.
But the most common is that you encounter any stone, "says Christensson. 

Christensson does not know what caused the accident. 

-- There will accidents is to provide answers to. At such high capacities
here competitions, there are GPS loggrar on the plane that shows speed and
altitude. It is possible to reconstruct what happened. 

Wednesday is informed of the accident, but under Christensson, it will
probably be delegated to Segelflygförbundet to do accident investigations. 

-- Yes, for this is considered likely that a minor accident. 

The plane, which was completely destroyed when the Finnish pilot crashed was
worth a half million kronor

Subject: [Aus-soaring] A good landing

This link was sent to me this morning by Ake Petterson.

If someone can translate from the Swedish for us it may throw a little light
on what the heck really happened.

Ake did mention that the pilot walked away uninjured, so I guess it does
qualify as a "good" landing - but almost certainly not a great one.
