  Parachutist's death dive kills glider pilot

June 3 2002


Investigations were continuing today into a freak mid-air collision over 
central England when a skydiver smashed through the wing of a glider, 
killing both himself and the glider pilot.

The skydiver and the glider pilot died early yesterday following the 
accident at Hinton Airfield, near Brackley, Northamptonshire.

The glider's wing was knocked off by the force of the skydiver's impact 
and both people plunged to their deaths from around 600 metres, an Air 
Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) spokesman said.
