NSW: Pilot missing after light plane crash off Sydney beach

A light plane has crashed off Sydney's northern beaches and the pilot is missing.

The single-engine plane was performing aerobatics about 300 metres off Turimetta Beach,
between Warriewood and Narrabeen, when it plunged into seven metres of water about 12.30
(AEST) this afternoon.

Water police located the wreckage of the plane but have been unable to find the pilot.
