I've been told, but this is unconfirmed:
The helicopter was from Fast Helicopters, and the two passengers were engineers;
It came down about half a mile from the Esseborne Manor Hotel at Hurstbourne Tarrant which may be familiar to some people because it has a helipad - no suggestion so far that it was intending to land at the pad.
I emphasise that this is from a single source and is unconfirmed.

If you e-mail me I'll tell you the name of the pilot, as told to me.
I won't post it here for obvious reasons.
Very sad.
