A wife that wants a drone?? Gotta love that Geoff :)

THE pilot involved in a fatal plane crash in Pimpama this morning has been identified as Ryan Campbell, who once held the record as the youngest pilot to fly solo around the world. The 21-year-old from Merimbula piloted a Tiger Moth aircraft that crashed in bushland off Green Meadows Drv this morning, which claimed the life of 58-year-old passenger, Coutts Crossing resident Gary Turnbull. Mr Campbell is currently conscious in the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane with serious injuries. He has been working for Tiger Moth Joy Rides for less than a month as the operations manager. It is believed the Tiger Moth joy ride was a Christmas present to Mr Turnbull from his daughters. Tragically one of his daughters was watching on from the Tiger Moth hangar when the aircraft crashed. Police have confirmed Mr Campbell dialled 000 to alert authorities of the crash himself. Mr Campbell made headlines in 2013 when he achieved the world record as the youngest pilot ever to fly solo around the world, and was also the first teenager to complete the feat. He did it in 70 days, making 34 stops in 15 countries and spending 200 hours in the air. He flew around the world in his plane Spirit of the Sapphire Coast, after working with adventurer Dick Smith and Ken Evers of Bendigo, who had also flown around the world. Mr Campbell spends his spare time talking to teens on school tours as a motivational speaker. He also raises money to help get other youngsters involved in aviation as he worked at a local supermarket when he was 14 to spend his earnings on flying lessons. Kenneth Evers, who flew around the world in 2010, nominated Mr Campbell for the Pride of Australia Young Leader Medal last year. He also met the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, after he broke the world record when he was 19. http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/gold-coast/famous-young-pilot-hurt-in-fatal-plane-crash-at-pimpama/story-fnj94idh-1227690521307

Head and facial injuries along with severe spinal injuries.

Well they don't have a tiger moth anymore so they need to shut it down so people don't buy vouchers.

it was Ryan and he is in a pretty bad way.

Yes Ryan is 21 so seems like it.

Ahhhh what? Don't think he would have had time to make a phone call !!

The daughter of the passenger that was killed witnessed the crash. R.I.P

Young pilot.... Not making assumptions but those Tiger Moths can be like a teenager to control and you need a good amount of time on them to get the "knack" Dazza.... Hope it wasn't Ryan he would be around 21 wouldn't he? Edit: Website suspended http://www.tigermothjoyrides.com.au

The ATSB is investigating a flight crew incapacitation involving a SOCATA TBM 700, registered VH-YZZ, at Lake Macquarie ALA, New South Wales on 15 December 2015. During approach, the pilot became momentarily incapacitated and the aircraft subsequently collided with the runway, resulting in substantial damage. As part of the investigation, the ATSB will interview the pilot and gather additional information. A report will be released within several months. http://atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2015/aair/ao-2015-145.aspx
