Your (or mine) memory seems to be a bit faulty, Conrad was killed i an accident in Indonesia flying a SA 315, and there was some controversy after the accident regarding Eggheads behavior, I can't remember the details.
The accident referred to in the news clipping was a guy from Germany, Michael, I can't remember his last name, he was killed in an accident in a H500 somewhere outside Goroka after which Mal in front of Michaels wife accused Michael of destroying the helicopter and that he should get the money for it back from her.
