Crews searching for a missing 73-year-old pilot have found plane debris near Queen Elizabeth II Provincial Park in Ontario, but they have not yet determined whether it belongs to the aircraft they are looking for. Search continues for missing pilot The missing pilot, identified by his family as David Douglas, was flying a small blue and yellow, single-seat, home-built plane with “FOFZ” on its tail. Durham Regional police say he took off from Oshawa Airport around 8:30 a.m. Friday and was believed to be heading north toward Kawartha Lakes. Douglas was supposed to fly back at 9:30 a.m. that same day, said police, but he never returned. Investigators say he was last reported near Balsam Lake. On Monday, Durham Regional police say plane debris was discovered in the Kawartha area. “At this time, confirmation of whether this is the subject plane is being confirmed,” said Durham Regional Police Service Const. Nick Gluckstein. Police tell CTV News the pilot has not been found. Douglas is described as five-foot-seven with a slim build, black and grey hair and a moustache. OPP have noted he typically flies south of Kawartha Lakes and north of Lake Scugog. While the discovery of aircraft debris has narrowed the probe, Durham Regional police have not established a connection to Douglas’s plane. The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre is leading the search alongside Kawartha Lakes OPP. RELATED:
