More than fourteen months ago, a German Cessna 172 disappeared from the radar. Now the remains of the small plane containing human remains have been discovered by fishermen in the North Sea.
The wreckage, which was recovered northeast of the town of Lerwick near the Shetland Islands (Scotland), is the machine that disappeared over a year ago on September 30, 2023, according to skynews.
Police in Scotland said human remains were found in the machine, the identity of which has yet to be established. According to the British broadcaster BBC, it could be the pilot.
Investigators from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) have also confirmed this. AAIB is a British transport authority that investigates aircraft accidents and is part of the UK Department for Transport.
Disappeared from radar after six hours of flying
The Cessna took off from Uetersen-Heist Airport in Schleswig-Holstein on September 30, 2023, the BBC reported. At that time, a plane disappeared from radar after about six hours of flight, according to a report by Germany’s Federal Office for Aircraft Accident Investigation.
The plane was brought ashore off the Shetland Islands in the North Atlantic Ocean on Sunday, police said. Authorities worked closely with British aviation accident investigators and German authorities to investigate the circumstances.
