not good!

edit: I really hope the information coming out here is not true. I know the chances are slim, but he was such a good sportsman. Burns and McRae, its just not fair. Especially on them.

It happened this afternoon surely if he wasn't on it they would know by now, the helicopter suffered extensive crash damage and then it caught fire. It's not looking good.

Couldnt agree more,if it is the case that Colin was on board I believe it will be a very sad day for not only British but World rallying circles aswell.

They are saying it happened on the edge of his estate.

Hope it's not McCrash!.

Got to imagine the worst - if it is registered to him - would he be letting somebody else fly it? Although I think his brother Alister has also got a flying licence...

Where did you hear that??? Lets not speculate about this chaps.

Police say no formal id tonight.

Mods lets show some respect to the families involved and freeze this post for the meantime.
