Fair go, Ian.  Family and friends are grieving.  The pilot is not here to defend himself.    Boyd Munro ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian McPhee To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.

I don’t think so. In this case it the responsibility belongs to the RAA and or the local police, and we have not control over how they manage the media.   This does not imply that RA-Aus is managing the media by reporting the accident as a glider. A sad day indeed.   Chris Kiehn RA-Aus _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring No virus found in this incoming message.
