From Morning Report, 6:09 am on 17 June 2019

The Civil Aviation Authority will arrive in Masterton to investigate the scene of a fatal two-plane crash on Sunday.

Both pilots of the light aircrafts were killed - one of them had just dropped off four skydivers and was coming in to land at the Hood Aeordrome when it collided with a training plane.

RNZ reporter Kate Gudsell spoke to eyewitnesses Samson and Kena Te Whata at the scene.
