I'd be interested to hear if there are any more details forthcoming. I've checked the online stuff but, as I'm overseas at the moment, I can't do too much else (and my wife only has the same non-industry information the general public gets, so no help there).

If, as reported, they landed in Gelorup I imagine they could have been in the Bunbury circuit. IF it was an engine failure after take off then the guy/guyess should get a bloody medal (assuming Rwy 25), as I've looked for suitable areas for a forced landing immediately after take-off and I'm buggered if I can find a decent one until passing about 400'.

Also like to know if it was a privately owned aircraft or whether we need a new one at the aero club.

PS: Loved it how the Perth News couldn't distinguish between Busselton and Bunbury
