The missing plane carrying Argentinian footballer Emiliano Sala and his pilot has been found, the search co-ordinator and air investigators said on Sunday.
"I can confirm it has been found," a spokesperson for Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) told AFP.
The AAIB was assisted in locating the aircraft by the Geo Ocean III ship and a ship led by marine expert and shipwreck hunter David Mearns, the FPV Morven.
The Geo Ocean III will remain at the site overnight.
Mr Mearns, who was co-ordinating a privately funded search for the aircraft, wrote on Twitter that "the families of Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson have been notified by police."
"Tonight our sole thoughts are with the families and friends of Emiliano and David," he wrote.
The Piper aircraft disappeared from radars near the Channel Islands on its way to Cardiff on January 21.
Mr Sala was travelling from France to join up with his new club, Premier League side Cardiff City.
Wreckage of the plane carrying Emiliano Sala and piloted by David Ibbotson was located early this morning by the FPV MORVEN. As agreed with the AAIB they moved the GEO OCEAN III over the position we provided them to visually identify the plane by ROV. #EmilianoSala
