The pilots of the two ultralight aircraft (Savannah VG, 57YM and Buse'Air 150, 75WQ) started the return flight to their base together after spending the day at Blois Le Breuil where there had been a microlight meeting. They lost visual and radio contact with each other. The pilot of the Savannah VG, the only person on board, looked in vain for the Buse'Air 150 that he was following. He decided to climb and struck the tail unit of the Buse'Air 150 which was flying above him, with his propeller and right wing.
The Savannah VG entered a spin. The pilot regained control of the microlight after having lost approximately 1000 ft but collided with the ground.
The pilot of the other microlight carried out an off-field landing.
