Found this on the ABC News website:
Wing failure has been identified as part of an investigation into a fatal plane crash in south-east Queensland last Monday.
A 26-year-old pilot and a French tourist died when a vintage Tiger Moth plane came down during a joyflight near the Couran Cove resort on South Stradbroke Island.
Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) investigators have examined a mounted video camera that was recovered from the aircraft.
It shows the left wing failing about one minute into an aerobatic manoeuvre.
Witnesses say the biplane hit the water at high speed and broke apart.
Authorities say most of the wreckage has now been recovered.
Investigations are continuing.
