A family has paid tribute to a couple who tragically died in a helicopter crash.
Ron and Diane Hughes, 65 and 57, from Wirral, had been visiting family in Australia after not seeing them since before the start of the coronavirus lockdown. The pair died in a horrific incident after two helicopters crashed into each other on Monday, January 2.
It is believed that one helicopter was landing while another was taking off near Sea World Drive in Main Beach. One of the helicopters was able to successfully land on a sandbank while dozens of people rushed to the scene to help casualties, the Liverpool Echo reports.
