McRae 'did not have valid flying licence'

Car reviews, news & advice | AutoTrader

“Colin McRae did not have a valid flying licence when the helicopter he was piloting crashed”

“Most of the flight was captured on video and it is clearly evident that unnecessary risks were taken and that the accident was completely avoidable.”

Sounds pretty damning but getting into a helicopter with him must be similar to getting into a car with him. The experience is going to be on the edge, surely. …

That’s not what people said at the time (his dad, journalists that’d flown with him, etc)

Sad on many fronts.
