Jabiru Forced Ldg Serpentine Dam - WA

Reported on Perth radio 6PR & courtesy of Ch 7 news chopper....

A light aircraft which appears to be a Jabiru type has made a successful forced landing at Serpentine dam, WA, SW of Perth.
Pilot has been picked up by the 'Rescue' helicopter and from the description, appears to be OK.
Comment made was the 'luckily the water level is so low, thus allowing the pilot to effect a landing on the exposed flanks which would otherwise be covered by water'....

More on the news tonight (?)
