Crashed in the Falsterbo channel this afternoon.

Sad day :uhoh:

Tragically, an article on Aftonbladet.se dated today, states that a group of teenagers visited the Swedish Coastguard station by the crash site and were encouraged outside to observe the plane approach.:(
The plane banked from side to side as if greeting the group.
Then the right wing separated at a point near the cabin.
The youngsters were obviously badly upset by what they saw.
