The helicopter pilot who was killed in a mid-air collision with a plane was one of the country's most respected instructors, a long-time friend has said.
The pilot, who has not been named, is thought to have died along with a student he was instructing when his helicopter collided with the light-aircraft over the historic estate Waddesdon Manor this afternoon.

That may be so but the snippets of information coming out suggest the accident didn't involve Lord Rothschild.

This op leaves a real bad taste in my mouth. When someone, who has caused tremendous misery and death in the name of continuing future generations of more misery and death, through power that they themselves have inherited, dies, it is not exactly the same as the death of, say, firemen and police officers.
Sorry, not inhumane, but there are levels are care and sadness. This is not one for me.
Also killed when the student’s Cessna 152 crashed into a helicopter on Friday was his flight instructor, the helicopter pilot and his passenger. Captain Mike Green, the pilot of the helicopter, had taken a passenger on a 'gift' sightseeing tour' when his helicopter was hit by the Cessna. Both aircraft disintegrated on impact and plummeted to the ground. They had taken off a short time earlier from an airfield where air traffic control had been shut due to “staff shortages”. Wreckage from the aircraft tumbled from the sky and landed just over a mile from the former home of the Rothschild banking family at Waddesdon Manor, in Buckinghamshire.
Members of the Rothschild reported hearing a “loud bang” and a plume of smoke could be seen above trees. Waddesdon Manor said in a statement: "Lord Rothschild and his family extend their condolences to the families of all affected, and their thanks to the emergency services for their swift response and professionalism." Both aircraft had taken off from Wycombe Air Park, 23 miles away near High Wycombe, where a Notice to Airmen was previously issued to warn pilots the air field's air traffic control services would be closed during three 30-minute periods on selected days between November 7-30 due to a "staff shortage". The crash occurred around half an hour after the latest closure was due to end. Investigators from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch are looking into the circumstances of the crash and what led to two aircraft flying into each other just over 20 miles from their base.
