In the GDN today the deaths are reported of Maj Radwan Abadneh and Lt Yazan Aranke on a routine training mission. The crash was at noon yesterday 'outside Amman'. Any details anybody, aircraft type?

Looking at a different photo in a Jordanian paper it looks like a Firefly.

Not yet another unrecoverable Firefly spin, surely. Although this is pure speculation on my part, but airframe looks fairly intact [what you can see], so suspect low forward speed.

Looks more like a Schweizer than a Slingsby to me, though.
