Two Britons and two Canadians were among six people killed when a sight-seeing plane crashed into a mountain on New Zealand's South Island.
"There were no survivors from the crash in the rugged Fiordland sounds," said a spokesman for Air Fiordland, the company operating the tourist flight.
The other victims, a fifth passenger and the pilot, were both from Christchurch, New Zealand. Police identified the pilot as Andrew David Robins, (25), and the passenger from New Zealand as Wayde Leslie Clarke, a 21-year-old student.
The names of the foreigners were not released pending notification of their families.
The single-engined Cessna 207 was flying from Te Anau to Milford at the south-western end of the South Island when it crashed in rugged country on the Gertrude Saddle, about 10 kilometres south-east of Milford, shortly after 8:30 p.m. (Irish Time).
