From Adelaide Now see
AdelaideNow... Ultra-light pilot hurt in crash-landing at Jamestown
"THE pilot of an ultra-light pilot received spinal injuries when it crash-landed at Jamestown, in the Mid-North, this morning.
The single-engine aircraft crashed near South Tce, Jamestown, about 350km north of Adelaide, about 11am.
The man, 38, of Booleroo Centre, was taken to Jamestown Hospital with a gash to his leg and back injuries. His injuries are not critical.
A CFS appliance attended the crash site to contain a fuel leak.
The Recreational Sporting Aircraft Association will hold an investigation into the crash."

Sadly looks from the Adel Now photo like if could be this Jabiru 230 from the Jamestown Flying Group

South Terrace is on the opposite side of town to the airstrip which is on the NE
see south terrace jamestown - Google Maps
South Terrace would be about on base for circuits in the roughly15 knot from the NW today.

Hopefully the pilot will fully recover from his injuries.
