Have you really not got a chin??

Word is that there were four falailties in the accident including his 5 year old son. I dont think it can be officially anounced until they have been formally identified but there seems little doubt.

Quite shocked to hear this, my son was mad about Subaru when he was little and we loved the Colin McRae Rally games. :(

A great loss :(..

Re: Colin McRae dead
 

Although not afficially announced yet, the crash happened near his home, he is a helicopter pilot, and it says 'he was beleived to be on board'. They don't announce things this way if they aren't 99.99% certain. It will be a great loss, he certainly lifted British interest in a sport that was declining, and was a great champion. He was also a good ambassador for the sport, and very articulate when he spoke of it. His name will also live on in the games he gave his name to.

Re: Colin McRae dead
 

The news last night said he was on the helicopter with three others and there are no survivors so its safe to say he has gone sadly.

My dad services his helicopter.... think they might want to talk with him

Re: Colin McRae dead
 

I imagine the AAIB will be wanting a word, yes. Eyewitness said that it went overhead then dropped into a valley, no reports of smoke or unusual noices etc.

Hopefully just human error..... maybe

I have a large square jawline, so much so that I was nicknamed 'Doc Savage' at school ... Google him if you wish.
