Hi Mike,
I have today found out that Leigh was referring to something else - namely the
GFA President's job in a rather tongue-in-cheek fashion. However at the time of
his death Maurice was still doing good work for the GFA, so my first line
stands. It is never easy to replace dedicated volunteers, doing good work on
behalf of us all.
Re accident prevention, in this instance we will have to wait on the Coroner's
report, which I would not expect any time soon. It may be able to pinpoint a
problem, and if so we - that is the collective we - can then act. However I am
not holding my breath on this one.
Regards,
Gary

I suggest that this thread be terminated NOW, unless you have something
positive to contribute.

Well you terminated one thread here, without good cause. What's your problem?
Have you guys figured out anything to prevent a recurrence of that dreadful
accident? The initial circumstances sound pretty much the same as one at
Beverley a few years ago but in that case nobody died although I believe there
were injuries and the glider was badly damaged. At least it didn't spin and the
problem was hitting a powerline after the rope broke. There were other problems
but we don't talk about them so the same damn thing keeps happening.
