Two RAF dead in Afghan helicopter crash named | |
(34 minutes later) | |
Two RAF officers killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan have been named as Flight Lieutenants Geraint Roberts and Alan Scott. | |
Both were part of the Puma helicopter force based at RAF Benson, Oxfordshire. | |
Their station commander said Flt Lt Roberts, 44, from North Wales, and Flt Lt Scott, 32, from London were "exceptional men". | |
An MoD spokesman said the crash was "an accident and not the result of insurgent activity". | |
Three other people were killed when a Puma Mk2 helicopter crashed as it was landing at Nato's training and support mission HQ, in Kabul on Sunday. |
