A quick translation of an opinion in La Provence...
"For officials of the Ubaye Gliding Center, manager of the aerodrome of Barcelonnette-Saint-Pons, it is the lack of knowledge of mountain flying that could be at the origin of this accident. In difficulty, the first plane would have opted for a "wise" emergency landing, the second aircraft for a half-turn, fatal because poorly negotiated. A scenario that could be reinforced by the testimony of one of the five British pilots present on the sector of Viraysse".
