Title: Not something you see every day..
Post by: jonnycool on 05 March 2011, 21:29:02
SWMBO and I went for a walk up a mountain today (we do that sort of thing now and again) and saw this lying on the top

Apparently an inexperienced amateur pilot flew into fog around Christmas time and hit the mountain top, flipping the plane over. He had to make his way down to some nearby houses to get help but only had minor injuries  :)

It must have been bloody freezing though, it was cold enough today and blowing a gale - someone's had the good sense to tie the plane down since then  ;D

I particularly like the pile of stones on the one wing, presumably to help weigh it down..

The delay at first was due to deep snow, which stopped even the farmers getting out with their quads, but it's all gone now so I don't know what the issue is now  :-?

Due to government cuts, the same response applies:
