Brave, looks like it hit pretty hard.

Pilots daughter informs me that pilot is definitely OK.

That's good.

Usually after a long drought there is a rash of accidents, that's maybe the 4th I've heard of in the last month or so.

I can see some currency problems looming after the virus problem ebbs.

Let's hope the gestapo authorities don't get too knee jerk about solo flying, and that plenty of instructors are carrying out 'self proficiency' flying in the interim (in their personal aircraft hopefully).

My Shareoplane ended up in teh hangar for a bre metal respray for 6 months; so I was planning a check flight anyway. This flying furlough will make it a definite. Even if I was flying the PA28, which I have oodles of ours on, I still have self-imposed rule of a layoff of three continuous months, and I will do a check flight. They usually last an hour or two.. and £25/hr, it isn't going to break the bank.
