    The man killed in a light plane crash in Canterbury was a well respected glider pilot


    Emergency services received reports of a light plane crashing at Twizel-Omarama Road near Lake Ohau at 10.50 this morning.

    Omarama Airfield chairman Clive Geddes confirmed the pilot flew out of the Airfield on a solo flight.
