NOW for the FACTS
The aircraft was a TERRIER 200.
This is / was a nice looking machine with great paint job and it goes / runs / flies really well.
RA-Aus registered and flown by current and legal RA-Aus pilot with passenger.
Aircraft had less than 100 hours since new.
The belt drive (Amax re-drive) belt broke in flight.
An emergency landing was made and the aircraft came to rest is a paddock after it collided with a fence.
Nobody injured and the aircraft has been retrieved and everyone is home safely.
The only mistake made was probably that someone called the police.
As for being "interviewed" by the police, they spoke to the pilot when they attended and that was about it.
Investigations are continuing into why the belt broke when it wasn't very old. This is not the first occurence of this type and unfortunately probably won't be the last.
QNH.
