Just off the BBC web...."Local DUP MLA Jim Wells was in the area when the crash happened.
"The conditions in the Mournes are extremely bad," he said.
"It's misty, the cloud is down to 600ft and the rain is very heavy so I can understand how something like this could happen."
We all have out views but does not sound a great day to be Mountain flying especially as it was not on a mercy mission and no lives were at risk...." apart from the crew that is!!"
