SilsoeSid - "The privately owned two-seater aircraft" probably makes it an R22? As yet still un-identified - anyone got any news?
JP27 - care to elaborate? LongRanger + South Coast could be a few machines from Manston to Shoreham to Goodwood to Thruxton to Hurn and a few private sites in between....

Sorry MPR, just trying to help. 
It was the only helicopter crash I could find on the web and knowing the press, a 'privately owned two-seater aircraft' could well be the Jetranger or even a Merlin for all we know!!

SilsoeSid - no problem, I was trying to do the same thing, sometimes this rumour network thing spirals and before you know it any element of knowledge gets lost or overlooked, and as you say the press are well known for getting it 100% wrong.
I now understand it might not be an R22, an older type from the 1960's perhaps?
