The operators of a helicopter which crashed on the Isle of Wight killing three people have criticised the aircraft’s manufacturer for “speculating” that “pilot error” was to blame.
Captain Simon Hewitt died alongside horseriding instructor Justyna Czoska, 52, and partner Wojciech Kowalkowski, 49, from Bloxham, Oxfordshire, when the Robinson R44 II helicopter came down in a field near the A3020 Shanklin Road on Monday morning during a flying lesson.
