Namibia - plane down
Heard on the radio this morning that a "light aircraft with 3 POB, went down at Maltahoë. No serious injuries. Owner of the aircraft is a doctor from Swakopmund". Anyone got more info on this?

Engine problems after take-off. Landed straight ahead, but over shot the r/w. No serious injuries. V5-EYS (PA28) suffered some damage.
Best bit: the owner notified our wonderful DCA, but they couldnt find the farm Urusis, so the owner had to arrange alternate transport to get DCA to the scene of the accident.

Bonnie down in Zim
Z-ROS crashed a few moments after t/off
No injuries but at least authorities did locate aircraft. Small wonder it crashed into a school under construction

dr27,
Yes Bud....you are quite right. It is the second time in a year that an aircraft has nearly hit that school. Last year a C206 just missed the school block and crashed next to the soccer pitch! Fortunately no injuries but the plane was trashed!
