Luke@Yourselves

Only 15 years? your just a kid!! a little wet behind the ears though, all this talk about penetration what the hell give us your spot for finding the jump through cloud site? BUT on a serious note if that has happened then maybe it is going to turn around and be safer! I for one do hope so as no matter what you guys say it is NOT SAFE the way it was going. And yeah lets hope the jump operator can talk to people and indeed listen to others as his is the closed mind.

By the way have you broken up my name?

Is the aircraft you fly capable of climbing high enough to breach CTA?:{

Hey wiz, obviously you weren't, no guesswork - straight from the horses mouth so to speak, and we'll forgive you when you pay us enuf!!

Looks like the new system must be working OK as no posts?

Gday
Yep very quiet from where im sitting. :O
Cheers Q

Gday
It's taken a long time for someone to tell it as it is.
The local state member for South Barwon Mr M Crutchfield has finally told the whole ugly story in State Parliment, it's worth a read ( Hansard-Parliament of Victoria ) 4th March 2004.
This man is to be congratulated for finally sifting through the bull**** served up by certain posters and others, advising the members of parliament what the real facts are.
We should see some action now.
Start repacking guys
Having a great day.
Cheers Q

JUSTAPPLHERE Do not worry about the wording it is fact son!

Hell have you seen the area they now drop in? it is right next to the power lines (high Tension) sure would release some pent up nerves if you went into those babies.
But the paying tandem oops club members mm!!! would not know about it until they see it, but hey at least the circuit area is a lot safer than before!!

Hope it stays that way!!

Skydiver shares kiss before death

By Mariza Fiamengo

16mar04

A SKYDIVER shared a kiss with her boyfriend in mid-air just before she plunged to her death near Melbourne at the weekend.

Clare Barnes, 24, the daughter of Denis MacShane, a British Foreign Office minister and Carol Barnes, a television newscaster, was killed when her parachute malfunctioned during a jump with her boyfriend at Barwon Heads on the weekend.

Skydive City Club manager Luke McWilliam said the couple were unaware that tragedy was moments away when they shared the romantic moment as they were free falling during her 200th jump.

Mr McWilliam said Clare had met her Australian boyfriend through skydiving and they lived in Melbourne.

"I think they actually met through the skydiving world. They have been together for a number of years," he said.

"He is obviously completely devastated. They were very close."

Early investigations indicate Clare was attempting a nine-way formation when it appears her main chute had become entangled with an emergency chute after she exited the aircraft at 14,000 feet (4267 metres).

Mr McWilliam said she had been with the skydive club for about two years and her death had shaken the club.

"She was extremely well liked. She's one of those very positive, very happy, strong, outgoing personalities," Mr McWilliam said.

"Everyone is just completely devastated."

In a statement issued by the Foreign Office in London, where Dr MacShane is minister for Europe, the family said: "Carol Barnes and Denis MacShane have lost their lovely and much-loved daughter, Clare, in a skydiving accident in Melbourne on Sunday.

"Clare was close to both her parents, to her brother, James and her half-sisters and half-brother who are united in grief at the loss of a beautiful young woman who made more friends in her short life than most manage over long decades.

"She died as she lived, living at the edge of experience in a sport that gave her immense pleasure.

A sad event indeed. My thoughts go out to those involved.

Regards,
Ops.

P.S. Guys, you may like to engage in pi$$ing contests about who is right and who is wrong, but don't forget life is just too d@mned short to be bitter all the time. Please work it out.

My deepest sympathy to family and friends.

OPS... another voice of reason in this ridiculous situation, although I must admit it was good reading up to just previous.

It is not nice to hear of any accident

Max, sent you an email about a request you had last week.

Something to your liking should be in your work pidgeon hole. :}

Please guy's this is not connected with the very tragic event that has happened, the safety concerns have been addressed in my opinion by jumping away from the airport.

I had been involved with the Geelong Club for many years and flew people (will never use the other derogetry term again) for jumping and do feel very sad of the loss of this Lady's life and can understand the Male friends tragic loss.

I am sorry also for the pilot as he must feel very down and I know it is not his fault either but the feeling of depression after an accident is great and quite a burden.

Please I am quite sincere in my comments and wish that this had not happened.

Gday

Firstly I must express my sincere sympathy to the family and friends of the young woman who died last weekend.

I find it hard to believe that under these circumstances that two stories relating to the tragedy in today’s news papers one quoting APF manager of national safety Graeme Windsor and the other quoting APF safety officer inspector Neil Cheney with completely conflicting reasons why the tragedy occurred, the coroner will have a field day with them if the reporting is correct.
I have enclosed the links.

Q

Can't help yourself, can you QNIM?!
You're a very sad man and your "sincere sympathy" comes across as somewhat hollow!
I presume this is the first time in the aviation world that two different media outlets have interviewed two different people in two different states and they've come up with two different stories.
Must be hard being so fault free, yourself!

HMMMMM, seems I've been censored. Thats a change.
OK, seems I'm not allowed to post on this thread.
:\

What no more grumbles ? is it working? all lost interest in safety? or more insidious the forum has been censored unless more newsworthy message appears??

Maybe they're jack of it.......
