Glasgow helicopter crash: Charles visits crash site He spoke to members of the emergency services, with council staff and with those who lost loved ones. It's very appreciated by the city, a city that is grieving. Two police constables and a civilian pilot were killed when the helicopter crashed on to the roof of the busy pub on Friday night while returning from a police operation. The crew members were captain David Traill, 51, and officers Kirsty Nelis, 36, and Tony Collins, 43. Six people died inside the pub where live music was being played at the time. They were Robert Jenkins, 61, Mark O'Prey, 44, Colin Gibson, 33, John McGarrigle, 57, Gary Arthur, 48, and Samuel McGhee, 56. Mr Traill's funeral, the first for those who died in the accident, is due to be held on Saturday at Glasgow University. Mr Traill's company previously described him as one of its most experienced pilots and "the epitome of the consummate professional." He was a former RAF pilot and instructor who served in both Gulf wars, Bond Air Services said.
