Flamborough helicopter crash wreckage lifted to top of cliffs


The wreckage of a helicopter which crashed off the East Yorkshire coast, killing two men, has been lifted out of the sea.

Pilot Brian Bridgman, 58, of Canterbury, and passenger John Kent, 50, of Romford, died when the aircraft crashed near Flamborough on Tuesday.

The operation to salvage the wreckage had been hampered by its location at the foot of the cliffs and bad weather.

But parts of the fuselage have now been lifted by crane to the cliff-top.

The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) is leading the investigation into the cause of the crash
