Nick Wallis was killed in the October 2018 crash. A Wanaka helicopter company will have to wait until at least October to defend two charges of breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act, laid by the Civil Aviation Authority. Paul Hondelink was a victim of the 2018 crash. That crash came just three months after Nick Wallis’ brother and fellow pilot, Matthew (39) died in another helicopter crash. That caused the helicopter to crash shortly after taking off from Wanaka Airport.
