A couple of newspapers are reporting it was him and his 5yr old son on board - not confirmed yet..

Apparently it was registered to him anyway.

The Times reckon it's official: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/more_sport/article2461339.ece

It was him in the aircraft and his son plus two others, adult and another kid, all perished.

tragic and a little bizarre, considering his rival, Richard Burns died prematurely from a brain tumour also.
