Based out of North Shore according to the Herald article this morning. Sad news.

Yep, it was ZK-JPE. The red triangular tailed Osprey GP-4 home built.

was a beautiful plane, think it was for sale a while back. Its sad to see that of the few engines faliures that occur, that a lot of the flights end up as what eye witnesses see as a dive into the ground or as in this case, "the engine stopped and the plane dropped out of the sky" Planes can fly perfectly well without power in a managed decent. It is sad to see this kind of outcome.
