ok fair enough -
 
Judging by the phone calls after tonights (sunday) 7pm ABC news they said "two members of the gliding club"  They are totally unknown to me and am sure they have never been members of GFA and I gather no longer members of RAAus and not a HGFA member.  Have no idea where this information is coming from

Fair go, Ian.  Family and friends are grieving.  The pilot is not here to defend himself.

I gather Will LOST his then UFA licence for bad flying so he was flying without a licence.  It is stupud to be expecting such an aircraft to be doing barrel rolls like he was doing!!   The bad pubublicity to gliding by NBN 6pm News is just amaizing - calls to me  went over 30 by about 8pm from all over north and NW NSW there coverage area.  There is ZERO blame on RAAus also as they did the right thing several years ago.
 
I wrote a report to ABC media watch and Tom Iggulden who I taught to fly works as reporter for 7.30 in a nearby studio.  I am very upset by NBN!!.............IM

In this case is it the GFA or the local gliding clubs place

to make a media release? 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.
