A good friend of min. collided with a sky diver on final at South Lakeland airpark.
Google " Sky diver and plane collide".
Sky diver and pilot or O.K.

Aeronautically,

A thread was already started in the pilot's lounge. perhaps you have some insight into this accident and perhaps be able to answer some of the questions about it. I did not realize the aircraft was on final, I could see from the photos that the pilot pulled up abruptly to avoid the skydiver.
