The 43 year-old British man killed in the Netanya helicopter crash has been named as Roberto Arvanitakis.

The Foreign Office has confirmed that Mr Arvanitakis was a British citizen, but he is believed to have been living in Cyprus.

The Israelis who were killed in the crash are said to have been showing the British businessman around the Netanya coast when the helicopter malfunctioned. He is believed to have worked in the airline industry.

The other victims were named as 35 year-old Yoav Tamir from Tel Aviv, the co-owner of Tamir Airways which owned the helicopter.
