Bronco Team crash in Kemble

[EK380]

Just in, Belgian Bronco crash landed in Kemble this afternoon. Reports from somebody close to the pilot, reports the pilot is not too badly hurt and has been flown to a local hospital. Aircraft burnt out.

Thoughts with the pilot, friends and family!

More info welcome.

I was unfortunate to witness it today! He was performing a climb roll inverted then attempted to pull out of the loop but run out of height! The crews at Kemble where attending which I will add the Kemble fire crew where very professional and the fire was put out very quick. A pat on the back for them but still thoughts with the pilot. :-(

Bringing this thread up-to-date, I have a request to be passed on from Tony's sister Sonja who I'm in touch with:

Speaking to Sonja recently, she has had a wonderful idea to do a 'recovery diary' for Tony to read once he is able to, to show him how much support he has been receiving here in the UK. I have offered to collate any input and pass it on to her so she can print messages off.. So this is the chance for anyone who wishes to send a personal message to Tony to be included in the diary.
I hope Sonja gets a load to add in, judging from the huge support already shown on various forums which I've seen?

If anyone wishes to pass their messages on - please send them to me via PM and they WILL get passed on to Sonja. By all means include your real name etc, not just forum ID - especially if you've met Tony at a show etc as he may remember you!

Hopefully I will be meeting her next weekend as she is making a trip to the UK to visit Tony so I will soon find out how he's recovering too...
