Chiropractic student Adam Harrison, 30, died in the incident near Dunkeswell Aerodrome in Devon on Friday, June 13.

Mr Harrison, from Bournemouth, was a student at the town’s Health Sciences University.

In a statement, his family and friends said: “From the very first moment you met Adam, you felt it - that spark. He didn’t simply enter a room, he lit it up.

“With boundless energy, an infectious laugh, and a natural warmth that made everyone feel like a lifelong friend, Adam was a true original.

“He was, as so many have said, ‘one of a kind’, a beautiful soul whose kindness and charisma left a mark on everyone lucky enough to know him.
