Alan Simpson survived the crash, but succumbed to his injuries.

 
Sam Rutherford survived the aircraft crash.


A British pilot has described how he regained consciousness after a crash in the northern Canadian wilderness and then texted his wife in Europe to alert rescuers.

Sam Rutherford, 47, was trapped in the aircraft as it teetered on a mountainside in a blizzard, with his flying companion fatally injured beside him.

A nine-man team climbed from Makkovik on the north coast of Labrador to search for the men after their Piper PA-46-350P Malibu struck the mountain. Alan Simpson, 73, a Shropshire farmer who owned the aircraft, survived the initial impact but died during the rescue attempt.

“When I recovered, I saw that Alan was not moving, but still breathing,” Mr Rutherford said. “I immediately put an emergency blanket over him to keep him warm.
