Glad the pilot is OK.
Know him and the aircraft.
I have always been extra cautious in any approach to 26, always seem to get some wind shear there. I was doing some solo circuit consolidation 3 years ago shortly after my first solo and got caught out. Pulled me over the grass just as I was about to flare. Recovered it but it gave me a lesson I have never forgotten.
Not saying or speculating thats what happened, it just reminded me of what I experienced.
