A leader in Queensland's agriculture industry has been remembered as a larger-than-life character with a generous heart after he was killed in a light plane crash alongside his 20-year-old son and the pilot.
The four-seat Cessna crashed on Monday in dense bushland near Fernvale en route to Archerfield Airport, in southern Brisbane, from Dalby on the Darling Downs.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said that like many friends of Tom Strachan and his son Noah, his family was devastated by the loss.
