Mags you don't want a DA40, have you seen how they land if theres a slight breeze?
They're not that bad to land?
Only thing I didn't like about it was it's (according to the POM) inability to side slip with flap - bit awkward for a field landing with an engine failure.

Must have been the pilot at Cranfield then, he came in almost backwards, then went sidewards and then landed on 1 wheel and had an almighty wobble, it wasn't windy either!
