SR22 down near Bruges, (BE) - BRS saved the day

An SR22 piloted by a Pprune member, enroute from Germany to the UK approaching COSTA VOR (Belgium) at FL100, got in trouble ("lost the propellor" ??), headed inland (most likely for Ostend EBOS), but ended up pulling the BRS when approaching the city of Bruges. Both pilot and airplane (more or less) look in pretty good shape after the event.

I presume the pilot one day will share some firsthand insights.

Second BRS "landing" near Bruges in a year (or two)
