Crash near Swansea (One Fatal)

No info really released at the moment, but a two seater crashed, with one fatality.

Witnesses report that the aircraft was attempting to land in a field near the Loughor Estuary (approx N514013 W0040507), when it colided with a high voltage power line, flipped, and then landed on it's roof.

Substantial information can be seen on the Aviation Safety Network website (Reg. etc.) That informationwas there in detail yesterday when somebody requested that the initial thread be pulled because the police reported that n.o.k. had not been informed.

any idea what the A/C is, it looks maybe like a jodel, or a DR200 depending on the scale?
