Human remains have been found in the wreckage of a Cessna light aircraft that went missing in the sea off Shetland more than a year ago.

The remains were found in the aircraft’s wreckage after a trawler from Peterhead hauled up a large section of fuselage while it was fishing to the north-east of Lerwick on Friday.
