BFU_ Report

Some corrections to FlyingBulls translation.

The report says they did som fun flying after the departure from the ship.
But the accident itself happend on the approach to land (1.5NM east of the arctic station Neumeyer 2).
Looks like a CFIT in whiteout-conditions. Nothing to do with steep turns on the departure.
