I think all that 'Two's in' highlighting is that this particular former British and World champion rally driver was one of those types who was comfortable with professionally operating rally cars at the upper end of the risk spectrum, and was also wealthy enough to own and operate a helicopter from his home -
possible factors for an accident.
Unfortunately, this same person had become very cavalier with the licensing requirements of operating his helicopter. The investigation uncovered multiple instances of licensing contravention, and at the time of the accident neither his flying licence or type rating were vaild, further confirmation of a willingness to accept unnecessary risk. Had any of his three passengers survived the accident, insurers of the pilot and machine would very likely have had grounds to refuse to cover any of the costs to the survivors.
In summary, I believe that 'Two's in' was merely providing an example of a wealthy risk-taker's attitude to operating a helicopter in an unnecessary manner, where the line between life and death was quickly and tragically crossed. He wasn't
necessarily comparing him to Fishwick.
