Microlight down Sunday 6th Oct. 2013.

Just heard on the BBC that a ML aircraft is down East Midlands somewhere.

Hope the outcome is good.

I hate reading these sort of threads, a life has been taken and it's never for the better. Condolences to anyone who knew the pilot.

OP (Don_Apron) : Can you change the title, it won't be correct tomorrow (today).

Agreed not very well thought out title. Thanks for pointing that out.

Unfortunately the edit function does not allow me to change the main title.
