Rotorcraft down in Cornwall
Radio 2 1500H reporting that a single seat helicopter/gyrocopter has come down on Bodmin Moor, killing the pilot. Thought to have taken off from Bodmin aerodrome.
Tragic.

No, the first post and link clearly says single-seater gyro.

Dare I hazard at a guess that it was an R22.

It was definately a Gyro because he flew over my head early this morning enroute to Bodmin from Somerset quite low. I was on a hill near Tiverton about to take photos of low flying aircraft, but for some strange reason i never took my camera out my bag to photograph the gyro coming over.
