My Brother in Law - lucky escape.
A Microlight which he built over a few years and had been flying for about 12 months.

Been in touch with the family, cut lip and a bruised hip from the seat belt. He will be discharged soon.
Engine failure causing an emergency landing, unfortunately tail clipped a tree on the way down.
Lucky no passenger as that space completely crushed.

Lucky chap. I wonder what was going through his mind as that was happening.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

He was busy concentrating on what he had been taught for carrying out an emergency landing with no power. It was going well until the trees got in the way.
