Father and daughter identified after fatal plane crash south of Brisbane - Brisbane, QLD
Smart summary
Ian Campbell, 56, and his daughter Hannah Campbell, 23, died after their light aircraft crashed at Stockleigh shortly after departing Archerfield Airport.
Ian Campbell, 56, and his 23-year-old daughter Hannah Campbell have been identified as the two people who died after a light aircraft crashed at Stockleigh, south of Brisbane, on Monday morning, September 7, 2026.
The pair were travelling in a Beech A36 Bonanza that had departed Archerfield Airport shortly before the crash. The aircraft came down in a rural area of Stockleigh, in Logan, only a short time after take-off. The impact resulted in a fire in the surrounding grassland, prompting a major emergency response.
Queensland emergency services attended the crash site, with Queensland Fire Department crews responding to the fire while police secured the area. The two occupants were located at the crash site and both were pronounced dead.
Ian Campbell was the founder of Barambah Organics, a Queensland family-owned organic dairy business. He was also involved in agricultural operations through Mañana Pastoral. Campbell was well known in Queensland's agricultural sector, having built his career around farming, food production and rural business.
The deaths of Ian and Hannah have prompted tributes from people connected with the Campbell family and Queensland's agricultural community. The circumstances of their deaths are now the subject of an aviation safety investigation.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has launched an investigation into the crash. ATSB investigators are examining the aircraft wreckage and collecting evidence that could help establish what happened during the aircraft's final flight.
Investigators are expected to consider the aircraft's condition and maintenance history, flight information, operational circumstances, weather conditions and witness accounts. They are also seeking video material that could assist the investigation, including dashcam footage, security-camera recordings and mobile-phone footage from people in the surrounding area.
Authorities have not yet determined why the aircraft crashed. No definitive cause has been announced, and investigators are expected to take time to analyse the available evidence before reaching conclusions.
The crash site has been treated as an investigation scene while evidence is collected and examined. The ATSB has indicated that a preliminary report is expected in approximately eight weeks. The preliminary report is intended to provide factual information about the accident and the progress of the investigation, rather than necessarily establishing the final cause.
Queensland Police are also assisting with the investigation and have appealed to members of the public who may have witnessed the aircraft before the crash or captured relevant footage.
The fatal crash has become a significant incident for the Logan and wider Brisbane region, while the identification of Ian and Hannah Campbell has brought the focus to the family and their contribution to Queensland agriculture.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have urged people with relevant information or footage to come forward. Further findings will depend on the ATSB's examination of the aircraft and other evidence gathered from the crash site.
