Hello
firstly, I am not a pilot, merely a friend of one of those in the crash.
I found this forum whilst doing a search for more infomation.
Here is the email I got from said friend after the incident. Some of the
speculation on here, I find a bit off to be be perfectly honest. Blaming
the pilot without knowing what actually happened is a disgrace in my opinion.

Hi Everyone,
Just to let you know that Wade and I and my cousins Jody and Matthew and their partners Gary and Kym, were in a light aircraft plane crash on Sunday. We all survived but crashed just after take off from about 500m. The plane lost power and dropped like a stone and snapped in two. Wade and I were pinned in the wrekage and had to be cut out of it. Wade was airlifted to hospital and has a huge gah to his right leg that went to the muscle. He will need plastic surgery and a lot of care for about a month. We both had our legs crushed and have cuts and bruises all over, but we are alive and didn't think we could survive. The mental scars will torture us for a lot longer. Hopefully the link above will tell you the story from the news point of view. The pictures of the plane are horrendous and we made headline news and the front page! The things you have to do to become famous!
Anyway,
Will email soon if this bloody thing will work. Having problems with gmail, hotmail and work mail so have given up!
