A Royal Navy Lynx helicopter with four people on board has crashed off the south-west coast of England.

A major search is underway, a spokesman for the Royal Air Force said.

The helicopter went missing during a rout9ine flight, 40 kms (25 miles) off the Lizard peninsular in Cornwall.

The spokesman said: "There is a major search underway for four people.

"It involves two Royal Navy helicopters from Culdrose and an RAF Sea King (helicopter) from Chivenor with infrared cameras which will aid the search considerably."

A French Falcon aircraft and two British frigates are also involved, he added.
