Tributes have been paid to an “adventurous” British couple who were killed when their cable car plunged into a ravine south of Naples.
Graeme Winn, 65, and his wife Elaine Winn, 58, from Market Harborough, Leicestershire, were enjoying their retirement and exploring Europe on motorbikes, according to friends.
Their cable car plummeted 3,400ft at “maximum speed” just seconds away from landing at Monte Faito after one of the traction cables supporting it snapped on Thursday afternoon, according to reports.
One friend posted on Facebook: “Just heard the tragic news that the couple who died in the Italian cable car crash were Graeme and Elaine Winn. Good friends who were enjoying retirement with lots of motorbike tours and holidays. How incredibly sad.”
Another wrote: “Shocked to the core. We met Graeme and Elaine in Split a few years back, a lovely couple. I can’t believe it.”
