S/Sgt Clyne died in a Lynx AH7 helicopter crash near the Leicestershire village of Tilton-on-the-Hill in May 1999, along with fellow Scot S/Sgt Stuart Donnan and Sgt Mjr Andrej Prenczek
Lt Col Murray Whiteside survived after guiding the smoke-filled craft away from the village and into a field by leaning out of a side window as it fell towards the ground.
The Lynx was 50 minutes into a flight from 9 Army Air Corps base at Dishforth, North Yorkshire, to RAF Odiham in Hampshire when technical problems arose. _________________ La a' Blair 's Math na Cairdean |
