Ballina Hail Storm September 25th 2011


Hey, It’s totally off subject from our fantastic Australian LightWing Range of Aircraft, but we’ve had lots of friends call and check that we’re ok after a massive hail storm hit our sunny seaside town yesterday  (around 3pm, Sunday 25th September).

Thank you! The Australian LightWing team are all ok, although nursing a broken window, completely battered gardens and telling a ferocious beach fishing story – but our thoughts go out to all the people who were caught driving along on what was a sunny Sunday afternoon, and were suddenly caught in a blizzard of hail.

Here’s some photos of the beach between Ballina and Lennox Head straight after the storm.


This is the second time this year I have walked around on snow/ice in flip flops this year, The first being at Yosemite National Park in August. It’s a crazy old world…..
