Helicopter crash in central London

Yeah that’s what the radio host at 08:20 this morning was suggesting.
RIP to the two who died but it could have been a lot worse, the country’s busiest train station, MI6 and several major pedestrian roads are all nearby.

They were saying on TV that he had been diverted to Battersea.

Very very sad news and an awful looking crash site. 🙁 RIP.

MSR777, we have 2 AW109’s (although I’m not sure if the new is replacing the old one) on our AOC at work but they rarely visit the airfield, however a few months back when one of them did it was single pilot, so I guess the 109 can be flown single pilot.

Damn…. what a shame 🙁

Very sad news indeed. 2 dead now apparently. I always thought that the A109 was a two crew machine, but despite having spent 25 years in aviation, I know very little about helicopters.

BBC reporting it was an Agusta A109 Reports of wreckage hitting cars…. i was at the crash site yesterday morning it is a very busy area at 8am just near Vauxhall bus station.. i hope the cars were unoccupied.

Footage doesn’t look good and sure details will emerge but thoughts go out to anyone injured and families of those who will I fear have lost their lives.
