I am the wife of Sgt Simon Bennett the pilot who was killed in the Gazelle helicopter crash on 22/12/03 in NI. I noticed from reading the messages that 'Paddy Don't Surf' has a picture of Simon flying in Squirrel. Is there any chance you could send me a copy for the kids. Much appreciated. Thanks.

I hope you don't mind, but I've removed your address because I'm worried about it being posted on a public forum. I'm one of the forum moderators - I've made a note of your address and I'll send the photograph on to you as soon as it's available.
I know I'm speaking for all members of this forum when I express my heartfelt sympathy to you and your children. Loss of life is always sad but when a helicopter pilot loses his life in an accident we feel it all the more because, whether or not we knew Simon personally, he was one of us.

Will 'Paddy Don't Surf' or anyone else with a photograph of Simon please contact me asap.
Thanks.
