The bodies of two people found this morning on a Christchurch beach may have come from a plane which crashed last night.

The bodies, believed to be a man and a woman, washed up at the northern and southern ends of Leithfield Beach this morning.

While police are yet to officially confirm the discovery, the Rescue Co-ordination Centre has said it is searching for a small aircraft in that area.

Christchurch's air traffic control contacted the centre at 8.30am to report an overdue Cessnar 182.

The plane was believed to have left from Nelson last night and was destined for Christchurch but never arrived.

Ambulance officers arrived at Amberley Beach this morning to assist with the bodies but there was nothing that could be done.

U R A Cock, a comment like that is, as Troppo said, as weak a water. Get back on the pills.

I lost a really good buddy some years ago when his cessna came down in a tropical storm Nth of Cape York, after that experience you can never again be indifferent or flippant about an aircrash .....

In the sixteen & a half years I have been in the industry I have lost an average of one friend a year. So far this year I have lost two within two months. :sad:
