Rescuers searching for an 86-year-old microlight pilot, missing since 3pm, have narrowed their search to two areas after information was provided about two planes dropping off the radar yesterday along the man's expected route. The initial search was sparked when Auckland businessman Geoff Smale, who represented New Zealand (also known as ) File:Flag of New Zealand.svg in yachting at the Olympic Games, left North Shore about 11am yesterday but failed to turn up in Ashburton by about 3pm as planned. Mr Henderson said rescuers had now narrowed their search. ==Footnotes==
