The rest is gallows humor but I can’t imagine he was genuinely worried for his life. It’s a bit dark but “lighthearted” all the same.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
The Times is reporting that the plane wreckage has been found, which I took to be a significant development:
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/n...ound-8grhgh2qq
But reading the article (you can see a lot of it on the BBC website here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-46968019), it is clear that they are referring to the unidentified objects that were reported by the police earlier, and then goes on to say that it is not confirmed that these are from the aircraft. This is not the time to complain about inaccuarate reporting, but there is one hell of a difference between "plane wreckage found" and "objects that cannot be confirmed as coming from an aircraft".
So despite the headline - no new info. Still hoping that this will somehow turn out OK.

Almost 36 hours since the disappearance, hardly thought about anything else since I heard the news.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
the response from the Nantes fans just show what they thought of him, The way they speak about him, he would have grown into a City legend, we love a player who gives his all

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Guernsey Police focusing on Life Raft Option which was on board apparently.
" 9.30am
We are searching based on four possibilities:
1. They have landed elsewhere but not made contact.
2. They landed on water, have been picked up by a passing ship but not made contact
3. They landed on water and made it into the life raft we know was on board
4. The aircraft broke up on contact with the water, leaving them in the sea.
Our search area is prioritised on the life raft option.
More updates as information becomes available"
https://twitter.com/GuernseyPolice
Keep the faith and still praying.

Dalman has said that the plane was not arranged by the club but Sala made his own arrangements..

Did I just hear that there was a life raft on board the plane and now they are looking for this also? On TS?

Correct, Guernsey police have confirmed this and made the search for the liferaft a priority.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
It would be a miracle if they were still alive after 40 hours of being on a life raft (hopefully stranded on a nearby desolate bit of land).
But I will live in hope, miracles can happen!

I still feel sick to the stomach. Like most of us I'd feared the worst from early on yesterday. Even more so when they called off the search attempts last night. I was just waiting for the inevitable news. This life raft development has played with my emotions even more. It gives us hope that he may somehow be alive, which would be a miracle. However, it could well just be false hope, which is awful.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Dalman says the flight was certainly not organised by the club, which rules out the possibility of it being Tan’s plane I should think.
According to Simon Jordan, agents usually organise travel in these instances and invoice the club.

I believe that type of aircraft has a turboprop engine, when there is only one there is no redundancy in the system. There are so many questions we can ask. Every news bulletin seemed to be carrying this story yesterday and I just tutted to myself when I thought about how unnecessary it was. Sad.

That no hope comment was from yesterday. I'm clinging onto the new hope of them on a life raft.

I don't think it is, it was part of a "breaking news" story on the BBC's site and the page was only posted a few minutes ago.

The weather in mid-Channel would be very cold indeed and I can't imagine that any investigators/rescuers really imagine that the two chaps could have survived after all this time.

Including in the liferaft? Not sure what the survival time would be in that without water/food and the air temperature.
If they were in the water they would’ve died within a few hours of the ditch.

Definitely saw an interview with that guy where he said the same thing yesterday. May have just interviewed him again.
