We found on a French beach two cushions supposed to come from the missing plane carrying the tragic footballer Emiliano Sala.
The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) said the cushions would likely come from the plane Piper Malibu, which disappeared last Monday.

Cardiff City striker Sala and British driver Dave Ibbotson of Scunthorpe are missing and presumed dead.
The discovery was made by French investigators on a beach near Surtainville, on the French coast.
An underwater search is about to unfold as investigators seek to recover the wreckage of the plane.
A spokesman for the AAIB said: "On the morning of Monday, January 28, the Bureau of Investigations and Analysis (BEA) informed us that a portion of a seat cushion had been found on a beach near Surainville in the peninsula of Cotentin.
"A second cushion was found in the same area later in the day.
"From a preliminary examination, we concluded that it is likely that the cushions come from the missing aircraft.
"We have now identified a priority underwater search area of about four square nautical miles."
UNDERWATER RESEARCH WILL BEGIN THIS WEEKEND
New research is expected to begin this weekend due to the difficult weather forecast for the next few days.
Investigators expect the submarine trawl to last three days.
The cushions are the first debris of the plane disappeared after a vast search of the Channel.
The plane bound for Cardiff disappeared after taking off from Nantes airport in France around 7:30 pm last Monday.
The Argentine striker was to be unveiled the next day, after signing the club record Cardiff City after making a transfer of 15 million pounds from Nantes.
Airplane search and missing men were arrested last Thursday by the Guernsey police after three days scouring the English Channel.
Her ex-girlfriend Bérénice Schkair, 26, begged investigators to continue searching, claiming that she thought he was "alive" and "lived on an island somewhere".

Sala's family has since been engaged in launching her own private research and has received support from football stars including Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Higuain.
His sister Romina said earlier this week: "We will find a way to revive the search.
"We will meet Emiliano and the pilot, who is a fighter and we think he is still there."
