have been reading about it all night! Not good at all! feared to havew died alongside his 5year old son in his helicopter on his own land,
wreckage was so badly bunt that police were unable to confirm what sort of craft it was!

I am hoping to god that it wasnt colin as this would be the death of another rally legend and a sorely missed character amoungst motoring circles!

here's hoping!
