Police divers are searching Lake Liddell in the Hunter Valley, for a man missing after a light plane crash.

The missing man is believed to be the pilot, who's aged in his 70s.

Penelope Little, from the Ambulance Service, says the aircraft came during an aerial photography mission.

“Two males have been able to get out of the plane,” she said.

“They got to shore and are currently with ambulance officers and a third male is still unaccounted for.”

Penelope (?) should have checked her facts before saying anything to anyone. How could they have gotten this so wrong?

The press are all in such a hurry to get the scoop - they just print what they are told without checking it out. Disgracefull.

Condolences to Col's family and the multitude of friends.
