Rest in Peace - how awful for this to happen.
I know the CAA do some safety evenings around the UK in flying club houses sometimes. I must say, the plan you suggest sounds like a great idea!

I was up Flying today......
I flew from Huddersfield to Hull, then Beverely today in a 44 at 12.30pm. Flying Easterly at 1500 on 1012, I was doing a AS of 100knots, with a GS of 126ish. Granted it was windy, but there is no way is was unsafe especially for a machine like a Gazelle. Returning at 3.30, my AS was 100, and GS 70. When I landed at back at E/Moor Nr. Huddersfield LBA APP was saying 220/18 Gusting 34.
When you hear of crashes, no matter what the circumstances, doesn't it make you want to fu**ing cry? So so sorry for all concerned.

To the Guy Named Phil,
Simple way of doing is , PRINT THE TRUTH........If you really must,
. But for Gods sake wait till the two peoples families have had time for all this to sink in, and then think how it would be if YOUR family heard the same tragic news about you!

18 gusting 34 from the South West!
The 'H' is on the grass, just to the right of the concrete 'circle' just left of centre and up a bit.

.....we've been down that route before with threads concerning accidents i.e Colin Mcrae... We dont know it was the wind, do we? The arggument is that when you do fly in difficult conditions and the fatigue level is ..to YOUR limit..what happens if you have an oil pressure drop??? Lets not speculate what happened.....wait for the AAIB report.
Good idea about getting people invlolved to discuss saftey.

Its times like this that such an accident make you think especially when you know the deceased personally.
For those who are pointing fingers its too early to say and rumours are already evident on here.
Its far too early to learn the cause and its cause should be left to the professionals at the AAIB.
Whatever the cause, whatever the reasons behind this tragic accident i'm sure you will all be with me in passing our deepest sympathy at this time to the remaining family of the deceased.

Does anyone have any broad idea what actually happened, if not why it happened? Was the accident on take off, landing or cruise? Presumably one of the former if it was near Rudding Park, where I would have thought there would have been a few witnesses.

Unfortunately every seems to presume what happened, mostly getting it wrong ! i just wondered why you said the former when the helicopter was staying at rudding park its best not to speculale and wait for the reports and more than likely video evidence of what actually happened [ lots of people have cameras in phones now ]

I'm not asking anyone to speculate. Just say if they have heard what appeared to happen from any witnesses/reports. And let's not get into all the tedious "wait until the official report" blah blah stuff. Of course I'm not expecting a definitive cause or seeking to elicit responsibility - that will indeed correctly come from the AAIB investigation.
