I think if they had pressured anyone to get him here they would have known whether he was on the flight, where as it seems they were as in the dark as everyone else at the beginning.

This is purely heartbreaking. Can't believe this kind of thing is happening in this day and age.

Was going to say on planes like that you must feel every bump far more whether its considered a smooth flight or not.

Even if the aircraft is found there will be no evidence of icing. Those ITK question the wisdom of flying last night. This could come back on Tan, and the club, big time.

Rarely on here these days but it's one of those unfathomable, numbing days that there is no reason or relief from.
Absolutely horrific for the lad's family and friends. Pointless speculating till we find out any more. For now all we can do is wait and stick together

From joy to sadness is a short path. If this is the emblem Nantes want to use, it's good enough for me.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Are any of you maritime enthusiasts? I'm just wondering anyone knows if trawlers or medium-sized ships go out as far as that.
I imagine a liner would be too big to see any possible debris etc.

You can see the boats in the area from this website:

You will have to zoom in to see the area clearly but there's not much around the Guernsey area at the moment.

Here is a live chart of vessels in the area that employ AIS, a tracking system. Vessels in main traffic schemes can be seen to the north of Casquets - although they can navigate nearer the
island(s)

Planet Swans very respectful. Reading’s HNA also respectful. Some Millwall idiots do not represent the vast majority of football fans who will have been saddened by this awful accident.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
This is sad
Chief officer of Channel Island Air Search tells me they have found what appears to be seating and orange material in the sea. They’re fairly confident it is from the plane. If feasible, the coastguard could choose to send a diver down to examine below the water surface

The sad thing about this is it implies that the plane went down quite close to the islands. To send a search and rescue/recovery diver down the maximum depth is 50m. I don't know the waters around the channel islands well, but think it exceeds that depth quite close to the islands.

Do these sized planes have "black boxes"?

I posted an up-to-date navigational chart of the area earlier in this thread. It shows the depths concerned. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/attachment.php...7&d=1548157296

There is no requirement for them to be fitted on this type of aircraft.
I gather that this is the aircraft involved.
