Thoughts to the family first and foremost.

It appears the point of impact is on 25, perhaps about 100 metres along (judging by the position of the cars in the background), given that it was a microlight the takeoff point would not be too far along 25, sadly this is close to where the last incident occurred.

Although the positioning of the turbines looks dramatic there is a range of wind direction where the wake of the turbines travels away from the line of 25.

I don't know the exact wind direction at the time but I am very familiar with the airfield, (I can see the turbines as I write this). The position of the turbine seen in the background of one of the pictures suggest that the wake was travelling away from 25.

In relation to the previous incident I would suggest this is a very sad and unfortunate coincidence.
