A retired British air commodore and his son have been killed in a glider crash in New Zealand.
A search plane had earlier found the wreckage of the downed glider in New Zealand, about 20 hours after it went missing with two people on board.
Police said later that Owen Truelove, 69, from Cornwall, and his son James, 37, had died in the crash.
The badly-damaged glider was spotted on the rugged slopes of Mt Prospect, near Lake Hawea on the country's South Island.
Rescue Co-ordination Centre New Zealand spokesman Steve Corbett said wreckage had been found near the Timaru River in the central Otago area, about 20 miles west of the Omarama gliding field take-off point.
The two were last heard from on Wednesday evening, four hours after taking off from Omarama gliding field near the rugged Southern Alps.
The glider, which had a motor that was not used during competition flying, was reported overdue three hours after its last contact.
It was fitted with an emergency locator beacon that had not been activated, Mr Corbett said.
Mr Truelove, who was president of the New Zealand Gliding Club, flew the Stemme 10V motorised glider from England to New Zealand last year.
James lived in the nearby tourist resort of Queenstown.
