Due to an in-flight wing structural failure, as a precautionary measure, the
BGA have decided to ground all Schleicher K7 and converted K10 gliders, with
immediate effect.

The accident investigation is in the initial stages and it is not known at this
stage if the structural failure was the result of a mechanical defect or
operation outside the approved flight envelope.
