Information is scant, and I do not subscribe to the West Australian, thanks to a poor level of journalism - but the basic information is as follows.

 

"A 62-year-old man has died in the State’s South West after the ultralight aircraft he was flying, crashed shortly after take off.

Just after 9am Saturday (21st May 2022) the man took off from a private airstrip on a Quinninup property, 30km South of Manjimup, and the aircraft crashed shortly afterwards."

 

The name of the deceased has not been released, and little further information is currently available.

I managed to get hold of a copy of the West Australian at lunchtime, and photographed the article about the crash. There's still no information available, as to the identity of the pilot.
