Update: No survivors expected as Cardiff record signing feared dead

There have been various updates from Guernsey Police, who are officially conducting the search into the disappearance of Sala and the missing aircraft before they suspended the search at 17:00 GMT.

They have confirmed that:
– Several objects were seen floating in the water
– The search party have found no signs of anyone on board
– Search and rescue operations have been paused for the evening following sunset and will continue tomorrow
– It will resume on sunrise tomorrow

Guernsey Police also stated they will be providing no further updates to the situation this evening.

Nantes have shared a touching video on Twitter about a vigil held for Salah in the French city.  Supporters have been gathering around the town centre to pay tribute to Sala, with many laying down yellow tulips and scarves.

Captain David Barker says the likely area where the plane could have crashed is expanding. “It gets to the point where it’s impossible, even with unlimited resources to search that area,” Captain Barker said in a statement to the BBC.

“The weather forecast for tomorrow is not as good as today, so we will be making a very difficult decision in the morning whether we can carry on with the search or not.”.
