The aircraft took off from John Lennon Airport, Merseyside, at 2300 BST on Tuesday and the last contact was made with it just under two hours later.

The helicopter was carrying four people to Thornhaugh, west of Peterborough.

Cambridgeshire Police said a search had resumed after an earlier operation was called off because of poor visibility.

Helicopters and police search teams have returned to scour an area north of Peterborough.

A Cambridgeshire Police spokeswoman said: "The helicopter is thought to have disappeared from radar screens shortly after 0030 BST.

"It is thought to have been somewhere near the Leicestershire / Northamptonshire / Cambridgeshire border when it vanished."
Any one got any more details? Type would be interesting to know.
