say detectives would be looking
at whether the helicopter was
being flown dangerously fast as
it came in to land.
The helicopter's pilot, 28-yearold
Flight Lieutenant David Sale,
and crewman Sergeant Phillip
Burfoot, 27, died In the crash.
Army recruit Sean Talt, 17, from
Glasgow, died later from his
injures. He had joined up just
four weeks earlier.

injured, three seriously. The soldiers
are thought to have been
from the Royal Regiment of
Scotland.
