Spin Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 In amongst all the election guff, I hear a gyrocopter went down in the scrub near Caboolture earlier today. On TV visuals it looked a bit like a yellow Magni. Believed to have been en route to Dalby. Pilot taken to hospital, let's hope the news is positive - I've just read on an overseas forum that a pilot I know slightly is believed to have died in a crash this morning, not a good day.
