MoD pays £5m to family of banker over fatal air crash
An investment banker who died in an accident involving an RAF Sea King helicopter have been awarded £5 million.
He was flying a Cessna with his wife and children when it crashed at St Mawgan RAF base, near Newquay, Cornwall, in June 2001.
The family sued the Ministry of Defence, claiming that the crash was caused by an RAF Sea King helicopter manoeuvring too close to the runway.
The MoD denied blame for the accident but agreed to pay £5 million to settle the case.
