Wife of Timothy Oakes pays tribute to him
– Angie Gaunt, wife of Timothy OakesI believe my husband died this morning and the Home Office have confirmed that because he was due to be on that aeroplane this morning.
Tim was a mountaineer. He lived life to the full and died doing something he always wanted to do. It should never deter people from living out their dreams.
He was a mountaineer and he always wanted to go to Everest base camp, not climb it, to go to the base camp, and that's what he was doing.
He was going because he always wanted to see Everest. It was the trip of a lifetime, he had always wanted to do it.
Statement by company Nepal tourists were travelling with
– Ashley Toft, Managing Director of Explore WorldwideWe are devastated by this news. Our thoughts are very much with the families of those affected, both in the UK and in Nepal.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said the families of the victims have all been informed.
The weather was good. The plane was departing for Lukla and our passengers were heading for Everest Base Camp at the start of their trek.
We have no more information at present.
