Video camera recovered from Tiger Moth crash site Pilot Alex James "Jimmy" Rae, 26, flies a Tiger Moth over the Gold Coast. A video camera has been recovered by police divers from the site of a fatal plane crash off South Stradbroke Island. Pilot Alexander "Jimmy" Rae and French tourist Taissia Umenc died when the Tiger Moth crashed into waters 400 metres offshore during a joy flight on Monday afternoon. Senior Sergeant Lucas Young said the camera discovered on the ocean floor on Wednesday could be crucial in determining what happened moments before the plane went down. ""They've located one of the GoPros from the plane, so that will be brought back and then we'll do some scientific examination on it,"" he said. ""There were a couple of different GoPros mounted to it at different places. ""We were very keen to recover that ... it's very good news."" Sergeant Young said police divers were slowly recovering parts of the splintered wooden plane from the ocean floor. But it is a long process, tedious process, he said. ""What we've got on the bottom is all evidence, so we want to disturb it as little as possible,"" he said. The cockpit of the vintage de Havilland DH 82 biplane was found about 40 metres from the engine, he said. The plane was owned by Gold Coast operator Tiger Moth Joy Rides, which has suspended its operations while investigations into the crash continue. Senior Sergeant Young said more debris from the crash would likely wash up on South Stradbroke Island beaches over the holiday period and encouraged campers and visitors to hand in any material found which could be relevant the investigation. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is leading the investigation into the accident, but its findings may not be made public for a year.
