mayday call 26.03. near compton VOR
 

Hi there,

while flying over france yesterday I witnessed a distress call on 121,5,the pilot reported elec fire and his intentions of landing,I believe,near compton(not sure about the spelling).
atc took care of him,but I lost reception.

anybody heard about that?.

I am just wondering what happened,would be great to hear everybody is o.k.

Forced landing onto Hampstead Norris airfield at Compton, all occupants and aircraft unharmed. Aircraft was en-route Bembridge-Cranfield.

:ok: :ok:

What time did this occur? There were quite a few of us at Bembridge yesterday flying back to the just-south-of-CPT area. Do you know what the plane was? (reg?)

I know that this was out of cranfield and I even know the school with it being mine.

But rather than start the rumour mill and the usual hanger crash investigations I will keep quiet, suffice to say the person involved is very experienced the plane had an electrical problem with smoke in the cockpit.

All were ok.

great to hear that,thanks.

No real drama actually, A/C in question back at Cranners.:ok:
