I was thinking that as I was writing my last comment but didn't want to be the one to say it.
If it is in the water the sea may give up.the body after a few months.
In the mid 80s I was working when a light aircraft was handed over from Scottish FIR.I seem to remember it might have been a Robin or similar heading back from Oskosh. The first call to us was a Mayday as his engine had just failed, and he ditched, I believe it was in the vicinity of the MCP1 rig. Despite The SAR Nimrod and Seaking being on scene within the hour, nothing was seen. The body was found several weeks later close to the Tartan rig if I remember correctly. I've looked in the AAIB reports but can't find one to match. It was a European registered single between 84 and 87.
