Incident occurred on the River Derwent




A sea plane has made a forced landing on the River Derwent just south of Hobart.

The plane had six passengers on board when it experienced problems during a scenic flight, and had to land at Blackmans Bay.

The pilot noticed a latch on an engine cover had come loose.

A passenger said the emergency landing was handled smoothly.

The passengers and crew were brought to shore by boat to get into waiting taxis.

The plane is being towed back to Hobart where it will be examined.
