Three bodies were sadly recovered from the wreckage including a Brit couple and a dad-of-three
A British couple who were reportedly on their honeymoon are believed to be among the dead of a horror helicopter crash in Greece.
The helicopter, which went down shortly after 6pm local time (4pm UK time) on Monday (August 17), erupted into flames on the popular Greek tourist island of Sifnos, killing all three on board.
Local sites report two of the people who died were a British couple, visiting for their honeymoon on the island, while the third is believed to be an experienced pilot and married dad-of-three who had worked in the military, The Mirror reports.
Emergency services raced to the scene of the crash which occurred near to homes in the Tholos neighbourhood. The fire department said the bodies of three people were recovered once the flames have been put out.
The helicopter, operated by Bellavia Aviation Services, crashed just before it was due to land at Sifnos heliport. Witnesses claimed they heard a strange noise as the aircraft approached, Proto Thema reported.
A photograph taken of the crash in the aftermath showed plumed of thick black smoke billowing from a fireball at the site.
