Staffordshire plane crash: Victims "identified by their jewllery"
Mr Dobson told the coroner: “British Transport Police are working alongside air accident investigators to establish the full circumstances and secure all available information that will explain how this incident came about.
“Our thoughts are with the families at this time of great difficulty for them and family liaison officers are working with them.”
Post-mortem examinations carried out by an aviation pathologist established that all three victims died from multiple injuries.
The O’Briens married last summer and had two young sons, aged 10 and 18 months.
Mr Matthews, 59, was a member of a flying club based at an airfield near Lichfield, Staffordshire, and was a work colleague of Mr O’Brien.
