Quebec plane crash: Four Britons killed - UK Foreign Office

Four Britons were among six people killed when a seaplane crashed in Canada, the Foreign Office

has said.
Five passengers and a pilot died when the Beaver aircraft they were in came down in woodland in the Les Bergeronnes area, Quebec province, on Sunday evening (local time).
The identities of the British victims have not been released.
The FCO described the crash as a "tragic incident" and said it was in contact with the Canadian authorities.

'Remote' area

Reports on Monday quoted police as saying that all six who had been aboard the Air Saguenay plane had been found. Their bodies are said to have been handed over to the coroner's office.
The seaplane had taken off from Tadoussac, on the north shore of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, located about 270km (167 miles) north east of Quebec City.
It was on a sightseeing trip, the BBC understands.
Ryan Hicks, a reporter with CBC, said the area where the plane went down was "very remote". Authorities had to parachute into site, he added.
Investigators have been hindered by bad weather and the inaccessible terrain.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "Sadly, four British nationals were on board the plane that crashed in Les Bergeronnes, Canada.
"Our deepest sympathies are with their friends and family at this difficult time. Our consular officers are ready to provide assistance and we will remain in contact with Canadian authorities regarding this tragic incident."
Le Journal de Quebec named the pilot as Romain Desrosiers and one of the victims as Emilie Delaitre, a French woman visiting the country from the Cote d'Azur.
CBC News reports that the aircraft was built in 1956 but, according to Air Saguenay, had a "brand new" engine.
The routine sightseeing trip was only supposed to last 20 minutes, according to AP.
The conditions were excellent at the time when the plane crashed on Sunday, the report added.
