The wreckage of a helicopter that went missing in New Zealand eight years ago carrying a local pilot and a British tourist has been found in a remote part of the country.
Police have confirmed that a helicopter found in Fiordland was the Hughes 500 that went missing in 2004 carrying 27-year-old pilot Campbell Montgomerie and 28-year-old tourist Hannah Timings.
An extensive two-week search at the time did not turn up any sign of the missing craft.
Police say the wreckage was spotted in rugged terrain at the edge of the original search area on Wednesday by helicopter pilot Brendan Hiatt.
"I immediately knew what it was just from the coloration, some of the shapes that remained there," said Mr Hiatt, who went on to say that he was pleased for the sake of the young woman's family.
"They can perhaps take her home now. So that should be special for them."
Police on Thursday recovered two bodies and say they plan to formally identify them by using DNA samples.
Officers have notified the families and say they hope the discovery brings some closure.
