Seven people, including two Britons and two Spaniards, have been killed in the crash of a small plane in the Dominican Republic.<br /><br /> Local aviation authorities said the plane took off from the resort area of Punta Cana and was heading north towards Arroyo Barril. It had been flying for just a few minutes when the pilot, faced with a technical problem, attempted an emergency landing on a golf course, but the plane crashed into trees and burst into flames.<br /><br /> The bodies have yet to be formally identified and have been taken to the capital Santo Domingo for post-mortem examinations.
