Nepali army soldiers carry the remains of victims of the Agni Air plane crash at the domestic airport in Kathmandu: British man killed in Nepal plane crash was determined to travel to Mount Everest
verest base camp in Nepal when their plane crashed in bad weather. There were no survivors.
A local travel agent who booked his tour said it had been Mr Taylor's dream to visit Mount Everest base camp, and that he had booked a 14 day trekking tour and was travelling with a Nepali mountain guide.
His trip had been cancelled on three consecutive days due to bad weather and he had extended his visit so he could "realise his dream," a spokesmen for Himal Reisen Tours said.
His flight finally took off early this morning but was forced to turn back as the weather deteriorated. It crashed into hills close to the village of Shikharpur, 50 miles from the capital Kathmandu.
Officials said there were no survivors and confirmed three crew and eleven tourists were killed in the crash. Four Americans and a nineteen year Japanese man were among the dead.
A spokeswoman for the airline Angi Air Planet said the company was investigating unconfirmed reports that engine problems may have caused the crash.
Mr Taylor had travelled to Nepal from his home in Cape Town, South Africa, and had already spent a month in the country when he headed for Lukla, the main airport for Everest base camp. He had completed a 14 day trekking tour of the Annapurna mountain circuit but was determined not to leave without seeing Everest, a spokesman for Himal Reisen Tours said.
