Four killed in NT helicopter crash

The Australian Search and Rescue Service says they have located the crash site of a helicopter missing since yesterday in the Northern Territory.

The crash site is at the base of the Mitchell Range near the community of Doinytji in East Arnhem land.

Spokesman Ben Mitchell and Northern Territory Police have confirmed there is one survivor.


Search

Earlier today another plane was added to the search for the helicopter.

Six planes and three helicopters took part in the search covering 1,100 square kilometres.

The helicopter crew was conducting survey work mapping Aboriginal sacred sites in the area.

Two Aboriginal elders and staff from the Northern Land Council were among those on board.
