Mr Matthews' wife Jenny said he had 19 years flying experience and it was thought he had arranged to go flying with a work colleague and possibly another person.
Police last night confirmed two deaths, but a spokeswoman said they believed a third person had also died and a pathologist is expected to confirm this today.
