Dan Burton, 54, died after his paramotor was involved in a collision with one flown by his colleague, Sacha Dench, known as the “human swan’ in the Highlands in September 2021.

Ms Dench, who survived but suffered serious injuries, was attempting a 3,000-mile, round-Britain-byparamotor challenge to highlight climate change ahead of the Cop26 conference when the incident happened near Loch Na Gainmhich in Sutherland, in the far northwest of Scotland.
