Today's Daily Telegraph has an obituary about Truelove who died in New Zealand http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.../20/db2001.xml on 14th November flying his Stemme. He was a very experienced pilot. Does anyone have any further news about this? The Times report said that the crash happened during a comp and that the rescue helicopter had to battle strong winds and driving rain. The Omarama club spokesman described the weather as demanding but not bad enough to cancel the task. The crash was described as being on a high scree near Mt. Prospect, 30 km west of Omarama, and reported that the fuselage was intact but that the wings were in three pieces. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
