Version 0 of 1.

A body has been found in the North Sea after an air and sea search for a missing fisherman.

Coastguards had been looking for the skipper of the Arbroath-registered FV Boy Joshua.

The vessel was discovered with no-one on board one mile east of Whiting Ness shortly before 1100 BST by the skipper of another creel boat.

Lifeboat crews, local fishing boats and two RAF Sea King helicopters had also assisted in the search.
