Australian filmmaker had marriage papers when his plane crashed

An Australian filmmaker was carrying the marriage papers to wed his fiancee when he was killed in a light plane crash.

Mathew Farrell, 42, recently bought the Australian-made Jabiru 230D plane with wife-to-be and fellow pilot Kaz Waller after the TV cameraman gained his pilot's licence last year.

He set off from Mount Beauty airport near the couple's Tawonga home in northeast Victoria on Sunday to fly 420km to Wollongong to help his prospective father-in-law fix a roof.
