Well, about 4 months ago (some of you may have seen this on the D&G forum at the time), there was an incident at my local airfield involving one of our club C152s.

A person on their first solo copped a freak crosswind on landing and was flipped completely upside down. The aircraft is a write-off and they walked away with some bruising. I have'nt heard if they have flown again since then.

Don't know if anything could have prepared them for this!
