Ray Mears

Ray was on the ground when the heli crashed. An experienced freelance camerman was shooting out the door of the MD XX, they were flying low.
heli came to grief, no fire.
Ray Mears aided the rescue.
The cameraman was seriously injured and is still unable to return to work, the last I enquired. Not sure of the pilot's injuries.
The BBC did not cover the cameraman for his injuries as they said he was self employed.
But it was BBC who booked the helicopter and the camerman was following directions from BBC director.
After a long and expensive court case the cameraman recieved compensation, the details of which have never been made public.
A very sorry affair made worse by the BBC stonewalling and leaving the camerman to fend for himself in the courts at a time when he was incapacitated.
