The wreckage of a Cessna float plane has been found in Strachan Bay on British Columbia’s central coast two days after it crashed.
Corp. Alex Bérubé with the BC RCMP says that a crew with the RCMP West Coast Marine Service located the wreckage as it conducted a search of the crash site.
An RCMP dive team is on its way to Strachan Bay to assist with further recovery efforts.

The Transportation Safety Board confirmed it is also sending investigators.
The plane went down Wednesday on a flight from a central coast logging camp to Port Hardy, 50 kilometres to the south.
An initial search after the crash was first reported turned up no sign of wreckage and police said they believed the plane sank.
In an email to CityNews, Bérubé says the RCMP has not confirmed any fatalities.
