Not according to a friend....

"A friend of killed veteran filmmaker John Davis, Dr Brian Spies, said the purpose of the helicopter flight was to film coal mines in the area for a documentary they were working on.
"Mr Spies said Mr Davis and fellow environmentalists Mr and Mrs Green were planning to use the footage to expose the environmental damage wrought by the coal mines."
John filmed a "one on one" interview with MP Tony Windsor at the festival.
So John had the means and motivation to shoot whilst airborn, as they had apparently planned.
