Hope you guys are ok?

I saw on the news this morning that a Tigermoth flight from Compton Abbas crashed yesterday afternoon! Didn't catch the whole story as was half listening at the gym but I hope you're both ok?

Thanks for the concern. Strange thing is that Lou was due to be in the plane that crashed. The late running of the schedule appears to have been te reason that she happened to take to the air in the other one.
It def caused us to sit up quite late last night scratching our heads and wondering...

as curly put it on the Tigermoth Meet Thread, "there but for the grace of god i go..."

Sadly, one of the guys died overnight last night.

OMG !!
That must really spook you out.
Do the lotto and Euromillions and send me your numbers

Glad to hear you're safe and sound but obvious sad for the other people.

Nelly and Lou, I hope you are not too shaken. Very sobering news - My thoughts go out to those involved.

Is very sad and like Ken says - very sobering :( Hope you both are handling it OK - can recommend several stiff drinks to calm the nerves! ;D
