Foka 4 glider AAIB report out now

Impossible to tell if the bolt holding the wing in place was secure....and in this sad case, it wasn't. How very careful we must be when rigging a glider to be sure it is safe. Glider pilots as a routine perform the task of attaching the wings to the fuselage before flying, and connecting the controls.
