Nigel Thornton
Nigel was killed when the Alouette II that he was flying hit wires in Yugoslavia while working on the film ‘High Road to China’ in 1982. Also aboard were a fixed wing pilot and the helicopter engineer, Andy Anderson, who had replaced me only the day before.
The fixed wing pilot was David Perrin, Rothmans solo Pitts pilot. The film about him, "Man in the Sky" is one of aviation's classics!
