    Just saw it online there.. The amount of people killed in helicopter crashes is incredible.. Alot of high profile people too.

    I seen that just this morning. The guy was a living legend and such a down to earth guy.

    A sad sad loss to the world of rallying.

    I thinkt he attraction with Colin is that most people this side of the world could relate to his “average joe” nature.

    Indeed a sad loss.

    Alan.

    EDIT – Thanks Pete for that pointer. Suitably adjusted above.

    I don’t know a thing about the guy, except he was a driver (I think).
    However, as John Donne said, “Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind”.
    So condolences to his family and whatnot.

    I wonder, though, if “down to earth” is the kind of accolade they would appreciate in
    the circumstances?

    Terrible news and even more so with the children involved.

    Just heard late today, fairly shocked about the scant media coverage of the tragedy!
