The wreckage of the plane that vanished with the footballer Emiliano Sala on board has been found within hours of a search starting in the sea off the Channel Islands.
A search boat hired privately by Sala’s Argentinian family – thanks partly to a crowdfunding appeal – located the wreckage yesterday morning.
The shipwreck specialist leading the private investigation, David Mearns says the family of Cardiff City striker Sala and the pilot, David Ibbotson, has been informed and the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch would be making a statement today.
