One More Time Now?
 
Was Andy another one of the Parham 'bombers'?

Lucky - neat bit of work by the helicopter rescue crew.

A wee bit too close to the trees while ridge running perhaps?

Think it was a pretty good northerly breeze yesterday so the Parham crowd were more than likely slope soaring.

Sounds likely - thanks.

Longer version. Final bit looks more like an ejection than an extraction.

Yes, it was a bit of a bungee launch from the sailplane (Shark?). I hope that his parachute handle was securely stowed.
