A 48 year-old pilot has been killed in a helicopter crash this morning (Saturday).
Police have confirmed the man, from Lincolnshire, received fatal injuries when the Bell Jetranger aircraft crashed in the Baldwin Valley, in the vicinity of the 33rd Milestone.
He was pronounced dead at the scene and his relatives have been informed.
