## Summary

A preliminary Greek investigation report says a helicopter carrying newlyweds Alexander Cromie and Marie Ebert lost control shortly before crashing on Sifnos on 17 August. The couple and pilot Giorgos Raikos died, and investigators have released photographs showing the burnt wreckage; the report has not established what caused the crash.

The Bell 206 struck a wall between uneven ground levels and came to rest upside down, where it was almost completely destroyed by fire. Main rotor blades were found up to 48 metres from the crash site, while debris extended as far as 50 metres; one tail rotor blade was found detached nearby. The helicopter had completed an earlier multi-island flight without an apparent incident.
