I can't understand how they survived it looks like the entire engine bay is folded under the fuse, one broken leg?? unbelievable!
poor buggers probably had some serious hypothermia, i can't imagine it was a warm night.
Question, a night flight in IMC above terrain = pleasure flight??? err

A forumite over on the...er....light side was involved, and has posted a brief summary of the events.
Very glad he's able to do so.

Thanks EH.
VIRUS WARNING!
I tried the Westmorland Gazette link and had AVG screaming blue murder about viruses and Trojans, five of which had been dumped on my computer. AVG dealt with them. I have since run a virus check and my computer is now clear.

Was referring to the 'Light aircraft from Blackpool down in Yorkshire' thread over on the Flyer Forums.
I have had some nasties emerge from the adverts over there, but I thought they had sorted that months ago.

I've sent a message to the Mods explaining the problem and asking them if they would be kind enough to remove the link.
EH, there is a link to the Westmorland Gazette in one of the early posts. I clicked on it and, as I said, had AVG screaming blue murder. Another PPRuNer has also had the same problem.
I had a look at "T'other Side" thanks.
The problem was here on PPRuNe not over there.

Its easy coming out with cocky comments from a nice cozy ATC environment !!!!

The forum is the Flyer one, the link is the one posted by flybymike. I don't think the mods here have a problem with cross-forum linking, as I don't suppose the Flyer's mods have a problem with people there linking to PPRuNe.
One day it's "pancaking-on-trees-is-fun" Vince that tells his story on here. Next time it's "GPS-is-for-wimps-Real-men-do-CFITs" KNT that comes clean on Flyer. Stories like these must be shared.

What's the deal with all this "there-is-a-post-on-the-forum-that-cannot-be-named" joke?
The forum is the Flyer one, the link is the one posted by flybymike. I don't think the mods here have a problem with cross-forum linking, as I don't suppose the Flyer's mods have a problem with people there linking to PPRuNe.

Frankly, poor old KNT appears to be getting more of a kicking over there from certain parties than I would expect even here on Pprune even on a particularly brusque day.

I wrote the following on t'other side 
but it bears repeating here.
For those of you unfamiliar with the area, Ingleton is 10.7 miles (statute) NW of Settle by road and Ingleborough itself approximately 2.5 statute miles NE of Ingleton. As you can see, the distances are small and, at night, there is a lack of illuminated areas up there. In spite of its popularity with walker, cavers, climbers and potholers once you leave the town area it is a very bleak, remote place. They were lucky to get a signal for the mobile phone.
Ingleborough Summit is 724m ASL
I'm just glad they have survived physically relatively unscathed.
