The mother of a Moray oil worker killed in an offshore helicopter crash has revealed she fears she will die before she gets answers about her daughter’s death.
Sarah Darnley, from Elgin, was on board the Super Puma that crashed off the coast of Shetland in 2013.
Last week her parents, Anne and Edmund, joined other families at a memorial service in Aberdeen to mark the fourth anniversary of the tragedy.
Now the New Elgin couple have repeated their pleas for a fatal accident inquiry to be held into the crash.
Mrs Darnley said: “There’s been talks about it happening for what has seemed like forever.
“You can let these things take over your life. It’s always there in the background. We’re always worried about going away in case there’s a development.
“We just want it finished now. I’m afraid I might die before we know and my daughter Angela will have to face it alone.”
There were 18 people on board the Super Puma AS332 L2 when it crashed into the sea on its approach to Sumburgh Airport on August 23, 2013.
Gary McCrossan from Inverness, Duncan Munro from Bishop Auckland and George Allison from Winchester also died.
A Crown Office spokesman said: “We will endeavour to carry out our investigation as quickly as possible but the investigation is highly complex and challenging and requires specialist input from those with the necessary expertise in civil aviation. We will continue to keep the families advised of all significant developments.”
