"Debris found in missing plane search
Debris have been found, believed to be from a light plane missing off the north coast of New South Wales.

The twin-engine aircraft, with two men on board, left Coolangatta for a two-hour training flight at 12:00pm (AEST).

Ben Mitchell from Australian Search and Rescue says there has been a sighting in the water about 10 nautical miles east of Byron Bay.

"We're searching on the premise that we have two survivors in the water," he said.

"We've got two aircraft with night vision gear and two vessels heading out to where the debris was found, they're heading to a position where we believe the plane has crashed into the water."

Mr Mitchell says seven helicopters and two planes are involved in the search operation.

"They are now well and truly overdue, their fuel endurance has now expired and they were last seen on radar heading away from the coast which adds up to a picture that paints a potential problem," he said.
