Crash helicopter pilot's wife is sued by widow


The family of a man killed in a horrific helicopter crash are suing the widow of the pilot at the controls.

Charles Stisted, a close friend of Prince Charles, William and Harry, died when the craft smashed into a mountain in Northern Ireland on the way back from a hunting trip.

The 47-year-old father-of-two was killed alongside pilot Anthony Smith and the aircraft's co-owner, construction tycoon Ian Wooldridge.

Today Mr Stisted's grieving wife Melissa revealed she is suing Mr Smith's widow, Angela, as well as Mr Wooldridge's family, for £300,000. They believe the pilot was negligent.

According to a writ at the High Court, Mrs Stisted holds the Wooldridges responsible for employing Mr Smith.
