C207 into the swamp at YBTL
 

A C207 went into the swamp adjacent to YBTL this afternoon. Apparently a loss of power on approach. The pilot and 3 pax escaped injury. Luckily it didn't tip over or the story might have been different - not much of the airplane visible.

R:cool:

That's 2 in 2 days - hope they don't come in 3's.

TL local paer said it was a 'mechanical failure' ...at least there were no injuries..:

The old slug aint much of a glider either... :sad:

Strewth, it wasn't that "dear old duck" from Cardwell was it?
