Devon paraglider killed in mid-air collision

A respected Devon paraglider has been killed after colliding in mid-air with another pilot during a competition in Macedonia.

Innes Powell crashed into Ukranian Igor Volov ahead of the final race of the British Open in Krusevo on Friday.

Both men were fatally injured.

The 54-year-old was living with his wife in the Dartmoor village of Mary Tavy near Tavistock.

Tributes were paid to the British pilot by the Isle of Wight Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club (IOWHGPC), where he trained.

Mr Powell was a well-known instructor who had decades of experience in competitive flying.
