A RESCUE official says no survivors were found in the wreckage of two planes carrying 13 people that vanished on Sunday in a rugged part of eastern South Africa.

Rescue South Africa's Johnny Smit says wreckage was spotted from a helicopter today in a mountainous area of steep cliffs near Tzaneen, where the planes left on Sunday for Johannesburg, 400km to the southeast.

Searchers lowered from a helicopter determined the two pilots and 11 passengers - among them two children - had died.

The South African Civil Aviation Authority is investigating the cause of the twin crash.

Durban Airshow spokesman Ray de Vries says a show organiser was aboard one of the two private planes that were each once military aircraft. De Vries says the group was returning from an air race.
