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.

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.

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.

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