Unfortunately with more than a week gone now, it looks fairly certain that Hadleigh hasn't survived. This is the latest statement from MAF:
Friday, 24 October 2008
The authorities have changed the search emphasis. Whilst the use of aircraft has diminished ships, with specialised equipment, are being deployed in Buckingham Bay to search for the aircraft wreckage. We are hopeful that images of the aircraft fuselage will give information as to its precise location. Please pray that this is the case and it will be recovered. It is probable that Hadleigh's body is still in the wreckage.
The family believe that their beloved son is in the presence of their Lord and, as such, have organised a Thanksgiving service at their church on Monday, 27 October. Please pray that this is a wonderful celebration of a life given in service for his Lord and also that all who attend will be challenged to put their trust in God.
