-I still do fly one. Comforting how tough they seem. Most crew seem to walk away (Possibly because they hit things so slowly) though these two weren't so fortunate.

-How unlucky is that! What is it with Popham and the PA22 Caribbean/Tri-Pacer? They say that bad things go in threes and this is the third time in the last few years that the Popham Flying Group has had one written-off, having previously lost first G-ARCC and then its replacement G-ARHP.
Nasty for the occupants but let's hope they are soon on the way to a full recovery.

-A needle in a haystack
Obviously it is unkind to add insult to injury, but the chance of hitting a house in that area seems like that of finding a needle in a haystack. As a friend put it rather succinctly - "it would have been better if he had just closed his eyes!"
Hopefully the accident report will shed more light. (no pun intended)
