A British couple on their honeymoon are killed in a helicopter crash on the Greek island of Sifnos, along with the pilot, according to local and UK reporting. Multiple outlets identify the aircraft as a Bell 206 and report that the helicopter crashes minutes before it was due to land.
Greek police and other reporting describe a possible mechanical issue. The Guardian says authorities suspect a mechanical fault and were examining reports of a “strange noise” before the aircraft fell and exploded on impact. The Daily Mail links the timing to moments before landing and describes, in its account, mysterious radio silence and the aircraft “spinning out of control,” while other outlets focus more generally on the crash and the honeymoon context. Sky News reports the couple’s names, and the BBC says Greek media report the incident involved a honeymooning British couple and their pilot.
Overall, outlets agree on who died and that the crash happened on Sifnos in a privately chartered Bell 206 just before landing, while differing in emphasis on the lead-up details such as radio communications and the specific reported cause.
