Maxflyer,
No stats I'm afraid but subjectively there have been a lot fatalities recently, although perhaps I'm influenced by my "normal" steed being involved in one of the crashes. Over the last two or three months we have had
Capt Mark Walden killed at White Waltham
Steve Hislop killed flying his Helo in Scotland
an R44 down in Galway killing two
T67c out of Turweston down killing two.
1 or 2 killed in a Micro light on a golf course somewhere [Glos]
and now this latest sad incident (and appologies for any missed)
Perhaps its a reflection of more flying in the summer and things will average out but with my pedants hat on and in self defence I think the above alone makes it a bad year.
Additional: possibly not GA but now we have glider or more likely a tug running into and killing someone at Husbands Bosworth
