DEATH OF GLIDER PILOT

[Dykey]

A glider which had taken off from the Jamestown Airstrip, crashed in a paddock just North of Jamestown.
The pilot was killed.
The paddocks were either Hall's or Coleman's?

The local policeman had to guard the wreck over night.

I remember two local lads trying to access the site (at night) but were hunted off.

I seem to remember reading about that somewhere quite a few years ago (late 60s ??). What I can't work out is where he took off from, as the old airstrip at the racecourse was no longer in use and the present one hadn't been started.

[Dykey]

He took off from the existing airstrip.
