Forced Landing - Sorrento Vic. (Merged)

ABC Radio is reporting a forced landing at Sorrento this afternoon at 2.30 pm. Four people on board all OK, apparently only minor injuries, walked away. Single engine aircraft type unknown.

Interpreting the eye witness account, and I'm speculating, it sounds as if there was trouble over the bay. The Pilot selected Sorrento Golf Course but didn't quite make it, taking the wings off on powerlines/poles short of the course and landing on the roadway and rolled. Wings apparently burned. Power off in Sorrento.

Congratulations to the pilot.........a good landing is when.......
