  • Wreckage of plane discovered near Kamloops

The wreckage of a plane that authorities believe is decades old has been found south of Kamloops, B.C. 

The Transportation Safety Board says in a statement that it was made aware of the wreck and investigators have been in contact with Kamloops RCMP. 

It says it hasn't identified which aircraft was involved in the crash. 

A notice on the Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System says a hunter reached out to the Kamloops flight information centre after finding the downed aircraft.

It says there was no registration or other identifying marks visible on the wreck.
