Basically, did it hit the fence and he came down afterwards as a result? Which, if he is airside in the pic, he has gone off the side somehow or way over to the other end of the field before coming to rest.

He sure didn't hit the fence in the pic whilst on approach, unless he came to grief before it and slid into it.


What was the weather like at the time? Hopefully not another Coffs type minima bust/cfit.
It's a bit hard to tell exactly what happened. Pretty sure weather wasn't a problem. And I don't know if the pilot was male or female - the one day I didn't have the scanner turned up high I missed it. I know I know - getting slack in my old age!
