Heli crash victim dreamed of flying

ONE of the three people killed in a helicopter crash was fulfilling his dream of having a flying lesson.

Wojtek Kowalkowski, 49, and partner Justyna Czoska, 52, died when their Robinson R44 II helicopter came down.

The third person killed near Ventnor, Isle of Wight, on Monday morning was last night named as Simon Hewitt, 54, from Barton-upon-Humber, Lincs.

A fourth victim, a man in his 30s, is in a critical condition in hospital.

Horse riding instructor Justyna spoke to her daughter Julia Buzar moments before she boarded.

Yesterday, the devastated 22-yearold posted a moving tribute to her mother, who lived in Bloxham, Oxon, with lorry driver Wojtek.

She said: "I have no words, the world took my mum too soon, she was the best mum you could ask for, loved by everyone. I never thought I'd be writing something like this.
