Two years since a small helicopter disappeared in dense Fiordland bush taking a young pilot and his English passenger to their deaths, a police file remains open.
It is two years ago today since the Hughes 369HS helicopter piloted by Waikato farmer Campbell Montgomerie, 27, and English tourist Hannah Timings, 28, is presumed to have crashed in inaccessible terrain while flying from Howden Hut on the Routeburn track to Milford Sound.
The pair had only just met, but were reported to be "inseparable" when they went missing. Mr Montgomerie had travelled to the South Island with Ms Timings, from Cheltenham, after spending Christmas with his family on the Coromandel Peninsula.
