I would agree 110% with Adrians comments, You can't trust the press, they are a lying sneaky bunch of two faced f**ks who would sell thier family for a story and twist anything you say to make it what they want

, I hope everyone noticed the typical hyping up of "the plane PLUMMETED into the airport"
....
Speedy recovery to the pilot, having myself learnt at OBA, all I can say from my experience is that the aircraft were maintained superbly, and snags were fixed asap.
Flight training is a risky business, as you can have the best instructors in the world, but a solo student is a solo STUDENT, I think most people who have learnt to fly a plane have had a few scary moments....with various outcomes.. Hopefully the guy will make a speedy recovery, lets leave the investigation to the pros.
