The CFI was flying it and he took to his chute and survived, but the tug pilot was killed. Very sad - he was a BBC cameraman and had made a nice film of our club.
Another happy ex Oly 463 owner. I had BGA 1342, serial number 013, and spent many happy hours in it over Kent, Scotland and Austria. We sold it to buy a Bocian in about 1973 and had great fun with that too.
Unfortunately the buyer of our Oly spun it in at Pershore in 1982. I have tried everywhere to find an accident report without success. Any idea where I can find it?
Incidentally the ASN website says your Oly was involved in a mid air collision with a Tiger moth and that both pilots were killed. You may wish to ask them to update their information.
