-Still no good news. A Hercules and other aircraft are continuing to search today.

-It is reported that the French military are now assisting in the search, not sure whether this is on the ground or in the air.
Also a local tribe of pigmys (pigmies?) have been requested to assist as this is dense jungle and there was fog this morning.
The aircraft is a CASA 212 of Aero Service possibly TN-AFA or 'AFD. As these are white aircraft, this should make it slightly easier to locate.

-Simple ASN report. The aircraft may have made a diversion for sightseeing purposes in the area and considering the weather, CFIT may have been the sad result (my supposition).
