Wreckage from the plane which disappeared with Cardiff City footballer Emiliano Sala and pilot David Ibbotson on board has been found in the English Channel.
The 28-year-old Argentine forward had been en route from Nantes in western France with his pilot to make his debut for Cardiff when the plane disappeared over the English Channel on January 21.
David Mearns, a marine scientist who is directing the private search, said on Twitter: "Wreckage of the plane carrying Emiliano Sala and piloted by David Ibbotson was located early this morning by the FPV MORVEN.
"As agreed with the AAIB they moved the GEO OCEAN III over the position we provided them to visually identify the plane by ROV. #EmilianoSala."
"The families of Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson have been notified by Police. The AAIB will be making a statement tomorrow. Tonight our sole thoughts are with the families and friends of Emiliano and David."
Speaking to Sky News, Mr Mearns said: "This is about the best result we could have hoped for the families.
"But tonight they have heard devastating news and in respect of the families I won't comment any further about what has happened."
