I have just returned from the Malta Rally. Several entrants overnighted at Ragusa and had details of the incident from the airfield owner.
The Mooney approached high and fast and was attempting a go-around. There is a dry stone wall at the end of runway25. The strip is 680m.
Ragusa is by all accounts an idillic destination on Sicilly. However avoid approaches during the midday as the turbulence and wind variation and be extremely demanding.
Safe flying.
