Crikey,

The whole episode sounds like a carbon copy of my little incident in the FRED last year, right down to the VW partial, then full loss of power and the hoards of keystone cops arriving.

Sounds like you did a great job in putting her down. Very well done for keeping your head and your speed up for the forced landing - it's very easy to get caught out by how little inertia these things have, not to mention the poor glide ratio.

Well, at least your log book will be interesting reading for your grand kids!
