A plane crash in North Wales yesterday killed pilot Gary Vickers (58) and his female passenger who died later in hospital.
This image shows the plane nose-diving into the ground at Hawarden Airport, Flintshire, north Wales, yesterday.
The pilot's father today paid tribute to his son, 'All the family are devastated,' said Mr Vickers.
'Gary was an excellent pilot, both single and twin aircraft, with hundreds of hours in his log book.
'Flying was his passion. I do not think it was pilot error - more of an engine failure. But we will have to wait and see.'
The woman has not yet been formally identified and there was no one else on board.
