Father and Daughter Confirmed Dead in Horror Plane Crash
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau sent three investigators as firefighters battled a grass fire and witnesses reported the aircraft was struggling before impact.
- On Monday, Barambah Organics founder Ian Campbell and his daughter Hannah Campbell died when their 1979 Beech A36 Bonanza crashed into a paddock in Stockleigh south of Brisbane, erupting in flames about 10 minutes after departing Archerfield Airport.
- Residents of Ascot, Ian and Hannah were experienced pilots and active ambassadors for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, part of a family farming legacy spanning more than 100 years in the South Burnett region.
- Local resident Eldjie Cojocaru reported the aircraft flying low and "spluttering," indicating engine trouble before it banked and crashed. Flight data shows the plane departed Archerfield at 10:58am and veered off-course at 11:06am, minutes before impact.
- Logan District Officer Chief Superintendent Mel Adams stated authorities have limited information on the cause, while the Australian Transport Safety Bureau deployed three investigators to the scene and police appealed for dashcam footage.
- A preliminary report detailing the crash's factual circumstances is not expected for about eight weeks as investigators analyze wreckage and flight data to determine the cause of the fire and sudden loss of control.
