Investigators have been sifting through the wreckage of a microlight crash near Timaru.

Lifelong aviator Jack Mehlhopt and senior local police officer Randel Tikitiki were killed when their aircraft crashed onto a dairy farm during a routine training flight on Friday.

Civil Aviation Authority investigators began work on Saturday, and were expected to wrap up their scene examination yesterday.

A CAA spokesman says there are several eyewitnesses yet to be spoken to.
