Tassie gyro crash ??????????

I have just had a phone call from a guy in NSW who said that the ABC news is reporting a Tassie gyro crash with one person dead and one badly burnt.

Anyone know anything. I hope it is not a gyro.

Mitch.
I have just had a report from a Tassie gyro pilot near Hobart. A modified RAF bought by a guy from Tassie at the Lameroo Nationals.
The owner dead and the instructor critcal. The accident happened at the Cranbourne recreational aviation airstrip.

Sad day for gyroplanes.

Aussie Paul.

Re: Tassie gyro crash ??????????

PRAYERS ARE POWERFULL!!!

My wife Elise turned up in Sydney with my daughter tonight, total surprise, here with me for my surgery. First prayer answered.

Elise rang her medico contacts....Instructor has been stabilised and sent to Hobart with expectations that he will make it.

I had commented earlier today, that he might just do so due to his very high level of fitness.
Keep praying.

The other fellow was a very new, very good friend of mine.

Please pray for them both.

Mitch

Re: Tassie gyro crash ??????????

I donīt know why it was but I had a grim feeling when I woke up today, now I know, nasty news.

I hope the survivor remains so, I am willing and wishing for him to have a speedy recovery.

My condolences to the friends and family of the lost man.

So sorry to hear it,

Nick.
