Sydney seaplane crash: Operation to raise wreckage begins.......

(Australian) : On Sunday, high-profile UK business leader Richard Cousins, four members of his family and a Canadian pilot died when the plane plunged into a river.

Part of the plane was being lifted by a crane on to a barge on Thursday.

It has also emerged that a plane with the same serial number was involved in a fatal crash in 1996.

On Thursday, local news broadcasts showed the De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver being retrieved from the Hawkesbury River, about 50km (30 miles) north of Sydney.

The recovery operation began at 06:00 local time (19:00 GMT Wednesday) and was expected to last until the afternoon.

The crash killed Compass Group chief executive Mr Cousins, 58, his 48-year-old fiancée, magazine editor Emma Bowden, her 11-year-old daughter Heather, his sons, Edward, 23, and William, 25, and Sydney-based pilot Gareth Morgan, 44.
The family, from Tooting, in south-west London, were flying back to Sydney from an exclusive waterfront restaurant in Jerusalem Bay, not far from the crash site.
