Tipsy Trainer 1 G-AISA
Pilot Steve Slater. Below is his post from Facebook posted Sunday at 2300. Nobody hurt, a textbook forced landing so good job as far as I can see.
Nice to meet local farmers, but not this way.......
Catastrophic engine failure (with no prior warning) at 1,200 feet, but thankfully a non-damaging forced landing.
Not what I had planned for the evening bimble...
Now tomorrow's challenge is to recover a 36-foot span aeroplane with a seized engine, by road back to base........
B*gger.
