The manufacturer of the helicopter that crashed into the Clutha pub in Glasgow, killing 10 people, has issued a worldwide safety notice over a fault on some of the aircraft. Eurocopter confirmed yesterday it had identified a problem with the fuel indication and alert system on some EC 135 models. It comes two weeks after the Police Scotland helicopter, a Eurocopter EC 135, crashed into the roof of the city bar, initially claiming nine lives, including the pilot and two others on board. A 10th victim died of his injuries last week. 10 YEARS AGO
