VANCOUVER — A search is underway for a small plane missing between Pitt Meadows, B.C., and Pemberton.

Officials with the Victoria Rescue Centre say the single-engine plane was reported overdue at about 7:30 Sunday evening.

Three people are believed to be aboard.

They were expected to have flown from Pitt Meadows to Pemberton Sunday morning, returning to the Lower Mainland around noon.

Two aircraft from CFB Comox searched through the night, focusing on a rugged and remote 100 kilometre stretch between Indian Arm and Pemberton, north of Vancouver.

No sign of the plane had been spotted by 4 a.m. Monday, but the search continues.
