The search for a missing light plane and the two people on board is resuming for a sixth day, with a Tasmania Police helicopter crew today conducting searches off the north coast of Tasmania.
Pol Air has been operating along the coastline from Bridport to Turners Beach earlier this week but there has been no sign of the light sport plane that was reported missing on Saturday evening.
Marine resources have not been deployed since Tuesday due to a combination of challenging conditions and no new specific search areas being identified.
Ongoing search operations will be assessed later today.
The two people on board the plane have been identified as Gregory Vaughan, 72, and his partner, Kim Worner, 66, both of Deloraine.
The plane is a Bristell S-LSA, a two-seat single engine aircraft which is a distinctive bright green.
It left George Town airport about 12.45pm on Saturday but failed to arrive at its destination at Hillston, central NSW.
Tasmania Police has previously said there had been no contact with the couple, or their plane, after leaving George Town.
This matter is now part of an active investigation, and no further comment will be provided on specific details.
Updates on the search operation will be provided when new information comes to light.
If anyone has knowledge of the plane's movements, or information that can assist the investigation, they should contact Tasmania Police on 131 444.
Anyone who sees anything unusual on Tasmania's northern coastline or in Bass Strait, such as debris on land or water, is urged to contact police.
