Well done Christopher Linton.
From the picture, it would appear that Mr Linton approached from the sea at right angles to the shoreline thus giving a rather short landing area. No doubt the shingle bank he has stopped on will have stopped him pretty smartly but as there is no apparrent damade to the u/c. he must have been pretty well stopped by the time he got there. Power pilots are not used to landing without engine power and few have ever tried a PFL with the engine actually stopped. I think he did an excellent job. Once again, well done Christopher Linton.
