Agusta A.109E Power G-CRST of Castle Air hit a crane in fog and crashed to the ground.

My sympathies to those involved

I first heard about it this morning but nothing had been mentioned here so reluctantly I put it up.

It was lucky it didn't plough straight into the building.

TBH you don't get closer than that...London in the Rush hour and only one on the bround killed and 13 injured. No buildings as such hit.

Miraclulous there were no more killed at the busiest time of day. Castle Air are often hired for TV progs/films, and the poor pilot was often requested for such, being very experienced.
