As an eye witness to the event, and having also visited Stuart in Hospital, the story although brief, is incorrect.

Kieth / Mitch,Have to agree, the story is not correct.Cheers,Nick.

Student Pilot, Stuart Griffiths is now out of hospital and recovering well. He will wear a back brace for 6-8 weeks and is expected to make a full recovery.

Now that the mud has dried and dust has settled at Denman, I thought I might paste a link here to some of the photo"s that were taken once medical help arrived.

Great Pics Keith,Always sad to see a gyro laying on it"s side. :"(What about the story? How did it come to pass....being amongst the trees? Mitch.

[asra]

:- IMHO...Well I guess on his way down, from way up there, being in such a panick he missed the wide open spaces and hit the trees about 20 feet up, and then he became a 300 kg brick.

Lucky Fella!Thanks Keith.Mitch.

I must have missed it, but why was he coming down from up there??????One would think it might have been a motor failure??

[asra]

Nope.
