Notwithstanding Bose's post (twins are different!) and apart from Polly Vacher's recent rapid visit (), the last light single I remember hearng about at KK (probably not the last one there, but it might have been) was, I suppose, in the early 90s.

The story, as I heard it, was that a film crew wanted to take footage to commemorate something or other, so organised with a lightie owner to provide an aircraft to do same.

A Jodel was provided, but with pilot, talent, soundman and cameraman on board it came to grief on take-off with a main gear collapse (post groundloop?), Blacking the airport and making GA's name mud there for many a moon.

Is the above as accurate as a Jet Blast post, or is there some truth to it at all?
