Schempp-Hirth Janus glider near Sutton Bank.

On the 17th of August 2003 and during a competition flight the pilot of this glider found himself flying lower than the airstrip when ridge-soaring, a hurried landing was made in a field but a stall occured and the glider dived into a field four miles from Sutton Bank. The exact location is not known.

Pilot - Unknown, seriously injured.

Passenger - Unknown, seriously injured.


I have yet to locate the site of where the glider came down though it is doubtful that there will be any sign of it.
