arrived at barton just after incident

apparently solo student came in too high for runway 20, landed late and was well on the way to Macro carpark when the boundary hedge intercepted his progress. should have scrapped the approach and gone around earlier considering the hot windless conditions but hindsight is always 20-20........there but for the grace of God etc...

Grob currently in Maintenance Hangar undergoing repairs although i heard it was borderline right off. Pilot ok apart from shaken .....and probably stirred.

Best wishes to him and hope he gets back on the horse ASAP.
