		</div><p>Vietnamese rescuers have found pieces of a search plane that went missing with nine people on board while attempting to locate a pilot from a crashed fighter jet.</p>
<p>The pieces including wreckage with the logo of the search plane, a tyre, a seat and personal belongings of crew members were discovered 20 nautical miles (23 miles) south-east of Bach Long Vi island and 3 nautical miles east of the demarcation line between Vietnam and China in the Gulf of Tonkin, the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.</p>
<p>The plane lost contact with its command centre early on Thursday afternoon.</p>
<p>Online newspaper VnExpress reported that the body of the missing fighter jet pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Tran Quang Khai, was found on Friday afternoon by a fisherman off the coast of the northern province of Thanh Hoa. It said the body was found wrapped in a parachute.</p>
<p>One other pilot from the Russian-made Sukhoi Su-30 MK2 jet fighter, which crashed on Tuesday on a training flight, was rescued by a fishing boat on Wednesday.</p>
<p>About 1,500 personnel were sent to search for the pilot.</p>
<p>Reports said bad weather may have been responsible for the crash of the search plane.</p>
<p>VnExpress quoted Major General Nguyen Quang Dam, commander of maritime police, as saying the crew had asked to descend to a lower altitude because of the weather.</p>
<p>The crashes were the latest in a string of accidents to hit the military. At least two crashes of military helicopters in the past two years have killed 24 people.</p>
