The forced landing area appears to be well chosen, being a large open level flat grassed paddock. However for some reason the thing has rolled over on landing and self-destructed
Comeing across powerlines whilst conducting an auto, (which I assume were only spotted late in the approach) in a 407 flying with 5 pob at that density altitude and then still being able to walk away with minor injuries to the pob. I think it just goes to show the capabilities of both the aircraft and pilot.

If I'm fortunate enough to meet this pilot in a pub, I'm buying the next round!
