Police are stepping up the search for a Scots RAF serviceman who has been missing for almost a week.
Corrie McKeague, 23, from Dunfermline, was last seen in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, in the early hours of September 24.
Officers have been trawling CCTV footage for sightings, the National Police Air Service helicopter has been scouring the area and a Suffolk Police spokesman said ground searches were set to expand beyond the Bury St Edmunds and Honington area over the weekend.
The RAF and Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue have also been involved with search efforts.
Mr McKeague was last seen at around 3.20am on Saturday.
Police are asking anyone who may have spoken to him during last Friday evening and in the time up to 3.20am, and anyone who may have seen him after the last confirmed sighting in Brentgovel Street at around 3.20am on Saturday, to come forward.
Police are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have talked to Mr McKeague before 3.20am and anyone who may have seen him after 3.20am.
Mr McKeague is described as white, 5ft 10in, of medium build, with short light brown hair.
He was wearing a light pink shirt and white jeans or trousers.
Police are asking anyone with information to get in touch as a "matter of urgency".
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
