An ultralight crash on a private air-strip near Burnie in Tasmania has claimed the lives of the two men onboard - one died at the accident site the other pilot was rushed to the North West Regional Hospital in a critical condition and died a few hours later

 
The 2-seat Raddcar home-built ultralight was taking-off from on a rural property at Heybridge just east of Burnie - the recently serviced machine apparently had an engine failure and stalled - it then hit the ground

Media reports have 6 emergency vehicles responding to a call-out at Albion Park's Illawarra Regional Airport south of Wollongong in NSW where a 'mature-age' pilot was injured and taken to hospital after the gyrocopter he was in "got into difficulties" and crashed shortly after take-off

 
Incorrectly called an "ultralight glider" by one media organisation - the non-fixed wing piston-powered machine apparently had an engine failure shortly after take-off with the pilot unable to maintain sufficient forward speed needed to carry out a successful autorotation and landing
