towplane collides with glider, prop hits wingtip
I doubt very much if the brake fitted to any glider is going to stop it anytime soon if it is full of water and even if it did I suppose the water would be handy to put out the brake fire. In the case of the LAK it is a heavy beast even without the water, as anyone who has been conned into rigging one will testify. If the tug does not get out of the way it's going to collect the glider. Looks like a LAK 17 rather than a 12.
