Matthew Scutter's Gliding
https://www.facebook.com/MatthewScut...ef=3Dhovercard


First midair was 18M class two days ago, one glider landed in field, the
other
returned home. Damage minimal, repaired overnight, both flew yesterday.
Second midair was 15M yesterday, tail missing on one, wing damage on the
other causing spiral dive, both bailed out. The Australian has broken nose
and
damaged vertebra, the German has a broken leg.
