Data recorder recovered from Leicester owner's helicopter as family pay tribute ROB HARRISLeicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was among the five fatalities confirmed in the helicopter crash outside the club's King Power Stadium on Saturday evening. Fans who gathered to pay respects broke into applause when Aiyawatt returned to the memorial with the players. "We recovered the digital flight data recorder (voice and data) on Sunday afternoon and one of our inspectors travelled back to Farnborough with the recorder the same evening,'' the AAIB said in a statement. Through horse racing and polo, the owner of Thailand's King Power duty-free chain became known to members of the British royal family, playing on occasion with Princes Charles and William. He spent millions establishing his polo team, the King Power Foxes, which began in 2014 and has enjoyed success at the top levels of competition in Britain.
