More On Gold Coast Crash
Aviation experts believe a pelican or other seabird could have caused the ultralight plane crash that killed two men crash off a Gold Coast beach. The bodies of the two men were recovered on Wednesday, after the wreckage was finally found 20 metres below the surface.
Police expect to salvage the wreckage on Friday - the seats, engine and a steel part are all that remain.

Australian Small Plane Crash
Police have found just a few pieces of a plane that crashed off a Gold Coast beach, but heavy seas and strong winds continue to disrupt the search for the aircraft's two occupants.
Gold Coast pilot Garry Sweetnam, 49, and passenger Andrew Mitchell, 33, of Murwillumbah in northern NSW, were on board when their twin-seater plane plunged into the ocean 500 metres off Narrowneck beach on Friday. About 20 people saw the plane spiral out of control and nosedive into the water.
