I've never been to Sibson but as I understand it there are pylons and high tension wires on the approach. Are these marked in anyway? I've seen large round orange spheres spread along the top cable as an alert in other parts of the world.

On the continent I've also seen pylons painted in alternate red and white bands. Yes hindsight I know, but would these help prevent a similar incident in the future?

Lastly, the picture reminds me of a similar shot of a fatal crash involving a Jodel a while ago. Is it worth exploring a method of protection as per convertibles?
