hope he is ok. just hope his wife and kids wasnt on board. fingers crossed

 

Watching Sky news no names mentioned aboard the heli but surely if Colin wasn't aboard he would have spoken by now as the crash happened at 4pm ish.
If Alistair was on as mentioned earlier that would be terrible, hope this was unfounded speculation.
Thoughts to relatives of those on board regardles who they were.

its not looking good ,although their not reporting no fatalaties on the news

 

If it wasnt him Im sure there would have been word by now.

:-( Will be a really sad day if it is ....

RIP to all on board

 

What you on about, it said on the news that he always flew with him, and as for his family i doubt very much they will be looking on scoobynet

 

Its not looking good

Just been up there & cant get anywhere near his house. Police everywhere. No - one is saying anything.

 

So he was definately with him then?
Why not wait for official news before guessing.

 

His agent is now being quoted by the press as saying CM was the pilot!

 

Dont shoot the messenger

 

ohh ****

 

Yeah Alister has a licence too.

 

Who gave you the message that Alistair was with him?
No mention on Sky or BBC

 

It was on sky news im not into glory hunting

Colin McRae feared dead in helicopter crash - Telegraph

 

Can we keep to the one thread please guys ?

https://www.scoobynet.com/non-scooby...n-mccraes.html

 

Alastair has his own h/c as well.

 

RIGHT< my pal is a Cop in Strathclyde, I've just spoken to him.

Apparently the site is a mess.

They beleive that there are 2 dead.

They are in contact with his family.

Colin is a busy guy, and has a very busy timetable.

They are checking now.

My pal will call as soon as he knows.

He's on nights.

Glasgow is a busy place on a Saturday night.

He will call me as soon as he knows, told his pals to keep an eye on this & keep hiim posted.

As soon as I hear I will post.

Regards.

Exactly! No names mentioned yet other than it was registered to Colin.
Nik.

 

I think we need to grasp the point that irrespective if its colin or not we have at least two dead people.

 

The aircraft burst into flames after it came down in woodland near Lanark, at around 4.10pm, killing everyone on board.
Jean-Eric Freudiger, McRae's agent, last night told The Sunday Telegraph he had spoken to the driver's brother and that he had confirmed the former champion had been piloting the Squirrel aircraft.
Speaking from his home in Switzerland, Mr Freudiger said he was still in shock and fighting back tears as he said he could not reach Mr McRae's wife, Alison.
He added: "I have heard that it was his aircraft. He was in the helicopter. I cannot believe it was a helicopter pilot error because as my best friend and the godfather of my daughter I know he was a very safe pilot.
"We have been close business partners and friends for seven years. He is the best person I have ever met in my life. I have to try and understand what I have just been told."
The aircraft, which was registered to McRae, came down in Jervis Wood, around a mile



Legend. RIP.

 

I can confirm Col Mcrae is no longer with us beyond any doubt.

gutted...totally gutted.

So you wouldn't mind the public speculating about the possible death of a relative of yours then, get a grip.

 

You got that information from where ???

 

Ditto!

Shocking news, watching closely now!!

 

How's that? No mention on tv, police not releasing details.

 

Absolutely shocked.

 

Unfortunatly Sky news are now reporting the Police as saying "No survivors".
