Re: WA Gyro Crash

I was saddened to learn that it was Allan Stockdale that was the victim of this crash. I had known Allan proffesionally for many years, he was well respected in the Perth engineering community.

Re: WA Gyro Crash

Brian,

Is it implied that Alan was using an engine bolt as a Jesus Bolt?

Nick.

Re: WA Gyro Crash

Hi all, Could you please wait till the metelergy test is complet and Adrian posts the true resaults. DO NOT START INUENDO'S HERE AS I WILL NOT HESITATE TO HAVE THIS OR ANY OTHER THREAD PUT ON HOLD.
Sorry all this is not going to get out of control as has happened in the past.
We are a profesional group of gyro pilots/ enthusests. Please keep it that way. Thanks for you thoughts Des Garvin.

Re: WA Gyro Crash

Hi Brian and fellow gyro fliers and enthusists, At this point in time we can only say that Adrian stated at the nationals that it was a grade 8 bolt nothing more. Sorry if I seem to be touchy on the subject, please discuss the merits in aplication with out reference to the accident. Thanks for your support, Des Garvin

Compleatly understandable Des.
We who werent there have no idea how you blokes are feeln now, so i think its best to keep quiet bout the hole thing your sakes.
My hats off to you blokes for wot you went through, and how you soldiered anyway. That takes guts.
