Simon Moores, a father-of-two, was killed when his plane crashed in Spain
The pilot killed in a plane crash in Spain has been named as Simon Moores, the brother-in-law of celebrity chef Paul Hollywood.
Mr Moores, 62, died when his aircraft came down near Errezil in the north of the country on Wednesday, leaving his family devastated.
Pilot and father-of-two Simon is the brother of Alexandra Hollywood, 54, who recently split from Paul.
Mr Moores' devastated family confirmed his death from their home on Thursday.
The Piper PA-28 plane took off from Cascais, southern Portugal, and was heading towards Hondarribia airfield in northern Spain when it crashed in misty conditions on the 3,500ft Hernio mountain early on Wednesday afternoon.
Rescuers recovered one body last night before calling off the search in failing light. This morning a second body was found when the search resumed. Sources suggest the two people on board were British.
An audio recording of the crash emerged of Mr Moores changing the plane's route before the aircraft crashed into a Spanish mountain, killing him and a second Briton.
Early indications suggest the aircraft might have had a fault in its altitude equipment meaning the pilot might not have realised how low the plane was.
It comes as a recording emerged of what is thought to have been the pilot's last communication before the crash, in which a change of route was discussed with air traffic control.
Before his death Simon, who owns an aircraft banner business, was scathing over Mr Hollywood's split with his sister.
Alexandra was married to the Bake Off star for 19 years, he is now with a 23-year-old barmaid Summer Monteys-Fullam. Mr Moores said the relationship would 'end in tears'.

Contact is said to have been lost with the plane shortly after 1pm when it was in transit between Bilbao and Hondarribia. A local then raised the alarm after hearing an explosion.
One witness told the Spanish press: 'I heard the noise of the plane, followed by a crash and then everything was silent.'
Mr Moores, a former 'Technology Ambassador' for the British Government and Vice President of the Westminster-based Conservative Science and Technology Forum was a keen flyer.
