Accident in Namibia, SH Ventus 2cxm
The news of the crash in Namibia on the 11th January 2016 was published yesterday.
http://www.republikein.com.na/ongelu...r-lodge.262951 Summary in English: A French couple bailed out of a Nimbus 4DM (German registered D-KCTI) near the Bitterwasser Lodge, on the 11th January 2016 at 15:40 UTC (16:40 local). According to the report the left wing dropped while thermalling and recovery was not possible. My assumption is that this was another Nimbus 4 in flight break up during spin recovery. The 65 year old male sustained minor injuries while the 60 year old woman suffered no injuries. They managed to bail out at about 700 meters AGL.
