I believe the pilot was a man by the name of Richard Gay or Richard Guay. I was told he moved on to fly for Channel 10 and he had flown in Vietnam.

Does anyone know the cause of that accident and if anyone knows Richard or what happened to him?

I remember being very excited when the pilot told us the police Dauphin may take us back to the World Trade Centre helipad, but they didn't, just

flew off after a good look.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Tickle.
