Greetings
ZS-UKU crashed on the 28th October 2021 around midday near the Kitty Hawk
airfield where it was housed and the pilot Neville Ferriera was fatally
injured.
Preliminary feedback from people who were at the scene is that UKU appeared
to have lost part of a wing that was found about 800 meters away on the
flight path. The aircraft went straight in at high speed and completely
demolished with no chance of survival.
Neville was an accomplished aerobatic pilot who often flew his own GK1 and
this KR2 owned by Dicky Jacobs.
Not much more is known at this stage.
Regards
