Not sure where this list of dead comes from but up to 20mins ago ssn are saying it's not confirmed owner was on board? Other Reports are saying 5 on board Inc the 2 pilots! But what is delaying naming the people its nearly 24hrs now nothing from club surely it's known who was on board ?

There's a photo doing the rounds of 3 people boarding the helicopter, one of whom is the owner. It could be from a previous trip but the number is a coincidence if that is the case.

I was thinking the same myself. I’d guess:
1. It’s been hard to track down and inform all the families/next of kin.
2. There’s no record of who exactly was due to board and the bodies are challenging to identify from the wreckage.
3. There’s something more going on.
In any case, it’s terrible tragedy. The owner was a very good guy

She was Polish and seems to be the partner of the male pilot.

There was also another female on board (a passenger). That is where the mix up is coming from.

Hmmm that article is extremely unprofessional..... never seen a UK journalist use the term ‘cops’ in any investigation when referring to UK police officers, if it was a US paper/journalist I’d expect it.

Sad sad news though
