A really sad and tragic incident. The helicopter was regularly used by antis to monitor the hunt, I am told.

How awful. I hope it truly was an accident but if it wasn't then the men/women in question should be brought to justice! Sympathy goes to his family/friends

Good grief, how awful

My god just read in the mail 2 have been arrested on suspicion of murder. How awful and such deep sympathy to the family & loved ones.

Deepest sympathy to this man's family.

Sadly it appears another example of what the scumbag anti's behaviour causes.

Tragic - It Will be interesting to see how much press coverage this gets - A lot less than if a horse had kicked and killed a "monitor" I bet.

I did read that the CAA and police had been informed about this helicopter (Or one like it) low flying over the hunts and livestock for the last 3 weeks, by law they can not fly it below 5oo feet however no action was taken so I hope something is done now. Deepest sympathies to his family and friends

In fairness it was on the BBC Breakfast news this morning.

A very sad day for hunting and in particular the Warwickshire Hunt. Trevor was a kind, honest man who did his best for the hunt at all times. He always had time for a chat and will be very sadly missed.

What an awful way to die. This was an accident waiting to happen - a recipe for disaster - a low flying helicopter following people and horses around the countryside. Its a blessing there was'nt some mass disaster. What on earth were the police and authorities thinking by not preventing this happening in the first place?

My condolances to Trevors family and loved ones. Tragic .
