G-EKKO R44 crash @ Swansea

[Deleted]

The R44 must be hard to fly as they seem to be crashing left right and centre.

Here's a pic I took of one that crashed at Liverpool recently.

Sorry to drag up a little bit of an old thread now..

Words around these parts are saying the pilot entered his own downwash on his downwind approach to land.

Those of you more Helicopter minded will be able to make sense of my above sentence, But for those of us, like me, who don't tend to use much brainpower, basically he went into his own path and lost control.

Very sad as to the damage, the heli had only been registered to the chap for a month.

Here it was at Shobdon 2 Weeks prior to the crash. ( Been for service i think before Delivery to SWS )
