We have just had a fatality at Goldfields Gliding Club, South Africa, on
Saturday, his ASW 20 broke up completely in the air, right wing
disintegrated, and the ailerons were found 2 km away, he was also an
instructor.

Hi All
We have just had a fatality at Goldfields Gliding Club, South Africa, on
Saturday, his ASW 20 broke up completely in the air, right wing
disintegrated, and the ailerons were found 2 km away, he was also an
instructor. Sad, only in his early 30's with a young family.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2008.
Good soaring
Regards
Ben Behm
