SMALL PLANE THAT CRASHED 10 MONTHS AGO FOUND IN B.C.

The wreCkage of a small

plane missing in British Columbia since last November has been found in southeastern B.C. Revelstoke RCMP said the crew of an ambulance service helicopter notified them Monday after spotting the wreckage of a plane at a remote site. The crew was able to confirm the tail marker of the downed plane matches a single-engine Mooney aircraft piloted by 28-year-old Dominic Neron of Alberta. Neron and his girlfriend, 31-year old Ashley Bourgeault, were travelling from Penticton, B.C., to Edmonton when the crash happened on Nov. 25. Officials were able to narrow the search to a region 18 kilometres outside Revelstoke, based on information from radar and a tower that picked up a signal from Neron’s cellphone. A search was called off after nine days. Mounties said Tuesday they are investigating with the B.C. Coroners Service. Neron’s sister, Tammy Neron, expressed relief on Facebook. “Our families cannot thank each and every one of you enough for embracing us during what’s been the hardest 10 months of our lives,” she said.
