Yet another Jabiru had a complete engine failure at BK today. Luckily the pilot managed to return to land safely.

Strangely enough, this was a sistership of the other that force landed at Warwick farm last week, and operated by the same company, and with similar low hours.

One could wonder how two identical, low hour aeroplanes could suffer complete engine seizure so shortly after takeoff.

I wonder if the pilot's employment will be terminated like the previous chap.

The CP of this company must really be in a sweat - especially following the early demise of their BE76 two days ago in yet another incident.

Three accidents in ten days. Pilots terminated and resigning en-mass.

Clearly CASA should be sticking its nose in this one....
