I heard it was definitly this copter.
Griffin Helicopters | Accident Details | R22 G-TTHC 09 Jan 1999
G-TTHC involved in problems a few years ago...
Not sure of this accident but quite likely with the current weather....new pilot (lots to think about), forgetting carb heat...then failed autorotation?? seems very likely....R.I.P (nothing worse hearing about this as a new pilot myself. almost puts me off. but i know i wont give up...its the thrill. We hope to live long or to die doing something we love. lets hope this was the case)
