    The Civil Aviation Authority has revealed 23 people have been killed in Robinson helicopters the past 15 years

    The Civil Aviation Authority has revealed 23 people have been killed in Robinson helicopters the past 15 years


    Newly-weds Mahdi Zougub and Fay El Hanafy were with their photographer when a Robinson R44 crashed at Canterbury's Terrace Downs on June 12.

    They remain in hospital with serious injuries.

    The CAA ordered safety training six years ago for all R22 and R44 helicopters after concerns over deadly "mast bumping" accidents.

    Deputy aviation safety chief David Harrison says it's helped and there's no concerns with their safety, as long as the rules are followed.
