Substantial information can be seen on the Aviation Safety Network website (Reg. etc.) That informationwas there in detail yesterday when somebody requested that the initial thread be pulled because the police reported that n.o.k. had not been informed.

any idea what the A/C is, it looks maybe like a jodel, or a DR200 depending on the scale?
