Tributes paid to 'deeply caring' dad killed in Swiss Alps plane crash
Owain Davies was one of the two Britons killed in the plane crash
A prominent Welsh businessman has been named as one of three people killed in a plane crash in the Swiss Alps.
Owain Davies, 55, from west Wales, was managing director of engineering firm Amcanu, based in Burry Port, Carmarthenshire.
His son Aron Davies said the family had "suffered an unimaginable loss", describing his father as "driven, determined and someone who simply didn't accept that a problem was too big to solve".
Davies was killed when the Cirrus SR22T crashed high in the mountains near the town of Leukerbad in the southern canton of Valais on Tuesday.
Formal identification of the other two victims is under way, including another Briton who is yet to be named.
Police released a picture from the crash scene, where witnesses reported seeing a fire and smoke
Authorities said the plane took off from Sion airport in the Rhône Valley and, for unknown reasons, crashed into a mountain slope about 10 minutes later.
Emergency teams from the Valais Rescue Organisation, police and firefighters were sent to the scene along with three helicopters.
Amcanu announced his death with "profound sadness", describing Davies as "strong-willed, spirited, determined and deeply caring".
