RV forced landing - Vic

[spinex]

Heard elsewhere that an RV was squawking 7700 near Lethbridge this morning - showing up on flightradar24. Since heard it was an engine failure, successful forced landing in a paddock, no further damage or injuries. :ok:

Oh no, a fellow PPruner !!

I hope it all worked out and everyone involved was ok with no dints in the pride and joy.

Not ol' Fanta Pants? :uhoh:

Who?

Nahh its not the ppruner you were thinking of Squawkie ;)

But I hear not a scratch on man nor machine. No details either.

Where there's smoke there's fire Jabba. He's involved. A little bit like the chook in an egg and bacon sandwich ;)

All sorted now, no damage not even the engine had a direct problem.

Was a good precautionary landing and well executed with not a scratch on man or machine. Just a slight suction obstruction. Things do perform better when they can breath.

Flown out already I think.:ok:

I am going for a snorkel or a swim….cya :}

Keep that suction up, Jabba, or you may get breathless! :ok:

[Jabawocky]

I was….there is several knots of current….fins flapping and swimming hard, and you almost go backwards!

I would send you pics but it might pi$$ some people off :}
