Two more aircraft join search operation for man overboard

Multi-national Naval units who are off the coast of northern Scotland on a joint training exercise have joined the search operation for a man who went overboard from a fishing vessel off Orkney earlier this morning.

Co-ordinated by the UK Coastguard, a French Dassault Falcon is currently engaged with the search, and a US P8 Poseidon fixed wing aircraft is making its way to the search area.  The search is ongoing.
