Not just in Hampshire.
With the rapid expansion of microlight ownership more people are able to fly outside the regulated environment of the self fly hire from a flying club.
Short grass strips surrounded by trees/power lines are more common than ever and are being used by aircraft more suited to hard surface.
Some microlights are more challenging to fly than the typical group A trainer.
Yes I am sure there seems to be more incidents of this type (three in last three days in my local rag) but do the official figures back that up?
