A light plane crashed in a rural area of Australia's New South Wales state, killing the male pilot and three children who were on board, police said on Friday.  According to details, the aircraft had crashed and caught alight. Police and rescue teams reached the spot after getting information and extinguished the blaze but the five-seater Cirrus was destroyed. A statement by police later confirmed the plane took off from Canberra Airport at about 2:30 pm and was traveling to Armidale.  The victims are yet to be formally identified. Police revealed that the single-engine aircraft vanished from radar screens 16 minutes after takeoff.
