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).
