Pete Barnes, who died when the helicopter he was flying hit a crane on a high building and crashed on to a street in Vauxhall, had amassed more than 12,000 hours of flying time, including 3,500 hours on the type of aircraft he had been piloting when he crashed.
He was described as one of the country's most experienced commercial helicopter pilots. In a wide-ranging UK career spanning 18 years, he had done everything from fly air ambulances to working as a pilot on ads, TV programmes and films including the James Bond movie Die Another Day, Saving Private Ryan and Tomb Raider II.
In 2004, he helped rescue a motorist from a flooded ford in County Durham while working for the Great North Air Ambulance. He also flew the Newcastle Traffic & Travel helicopter as the Voice of Metro FM and worked as a helicopter instructor.
