Seaplane model incidents part of investigators' probe into Sydney crash

Investigators in the Sydney seaplane crash say they will be looking into whether there were any similarities to incidents involving the same model of seaplane, including one which killed another British family in 2015.

Air accident investigators are examining the wreckage of the De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver, which plunged into the Hawkesbury River off Jerusalem Bay, 25 miles north of Sydney city centre, on New Year's Eve, killing all those on board.
