Four Britons die in tourist plane crash
Four Britons are among six victims of a plane crash in Canada.
The Foreign Office confirmed the four were on the sightseeing flight that went down on Sunday, but it has not named them.
The Beaver seaplane, which had taken off on a routine 20-minute sightseeing flight, crashed shortly after taking off from Tadoussac in Quebec, about 300 miles north east of Montreal.
The flight came down in a remote wood in Les Bergeronnes, where bad weather and inaccessible terrain has hindered the investigation.
The AP news agency reported that all six passengers onboard the Air Saguenay flight had been found and their bodies have been taken to the coroner’s office.
The pilot and a young French woman who was on holiday in Canada are amongst the dead.
Air Saguenay’s vice-president, Jean Tremblay, told Canadian media the weather was good when the plane took off. "It was perfect conditions," he said.
"At first glance, the weather conditions are not at all the cause, that is clear."
The pilot is said to have 6,000 hours of flying experience and had worked for the airline for 14 years.
