As read in E38 forum:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/gla ... 997134.stm

Its not confirmed yet, but other papers are pretty adimant it is. if it wasn't, surely it would have been confirmed i.e. colin step forward to say he was ok. they're are rumours that his 5 year old son were also killed in the crash.

This article seems to be more adimant:

A very sad loss. and of course, its not even two years since Richard Burns died.

i found out last night when i got a text about it.

Im gutted in myself and also for all the peoples lives will be affected by his tragic death.

how ironic that he died at the seat of a helicopter rather than a rally car.

very sad news indeed.

It's some very sad news indeed, it's a shame to lose such a talented driver.

Also, Prodrive boss Dave Richards escaped unhurt from another helicopter crash.

Here's a nice video tribute:

And there's a book of condolences on his site:
