Update on Gwanda Helicopter crash

It is confirmed that there was one person on board the ill fated flight and the person did not survive the accident.

The chopper is believed to have left from Gwanda airstrip 10 minutes before it crashed on its way to the owner's farm about 150 km away.

The pilot is believed to have been a fairly new flier and may have failed to negotiate the chopper in a little rain shower that hit the town at the time of the crash.
