Looking like Colin McRae has been killed

[Cochise]

A helicopter registered to Colin crashed this afternoon in Scotland. Some sites are reporting it was both Colin and his 5 year old son who was on board. Air accident will not report until tomorrow.

I remember watching rally after rally across the UK and the way us Brits loved this guy will never be repeated, we used to have sweepstakes to see how many car panels would be undamaged on the days we visited the rally stages in the RAC.

RIP Colin you will be sorely missed and your son should not go this way with his Mum surviving him.

That is so sad. I had heard it was Colin but did not know it was his son as well!

My prayers and thoughts go to his wife and family.

This is terrible news, we saw it on News 24 last night and a friend said it could be him as he knew where he lived. I can't believe that he is gone especially after the tragic death of Richard Burns last year.
RIP Colin.
