Australian investigators probing a seaplane crash that killed a British family and their pilot on New Year’s Eve will look into a 2015 accident in Quebec that involved the same model of aircraft.
The victims of Sunday’s crash, near Sydney, were Richard Cousins, the 58-year-old chief executive of FTSE 100 firm Compass Group, his fiancee Emma Bowden and her 11-year-old daughter, Heather, and Cousins’ sons Richard and Will. Canadian-born pilot Gareth Morgan, 44, also died.
