Pilot 'didn't hear' call before take-off in horror Sea World helicopter crash

A bombshell report into the Sea World helicopter crash on the Gold Coast in Australia, which resulted in the death of a British couple and pilot, has been released.

In the report, one pilot said he "did not recall" his fellow pilot making a standard taxiing call to say he was taking off before their helicopters collided and crashed, killing four people and injuring nine others.

Ashley "Ash" Jenkinson, 40, who had only recently become a father, died alongside three of his passengers - including British newlyweds Diane and Ron Hughes, 57 and 65.
