"The present arrangement is for it to continue at dawn tomorrow. There will be no further updates today around evening time."

John Fitzgerald, chief officer of the Channel Island Air Search, says a cushion and bent piece of metal were among the objects recovered.
"The [search] aircraft found various bits of debris and it guided the lifeboat and a nearby fishing boat into the area to have a look at it,"
"The notes from the search director say they found a cushion, a bright orange item beside a dull coloured box and lots of white items in the water floating alongside a piece of white metal, which was a bit bent - apparently, just looking at the notes I have just received."
Fitzgerald says the Channel Island Air Search now believe the aircraft broke up after crashing in the Channel.

"We expect to be called at around seven o'clock in the morning so that we get time to get to the airport," he said.
"Nothing is too far over here thankfully. We will be able to get airborne and ready while the light comes up."
