Search and rescue crews have found what appears to be the wreckage of a light aircraft, but the two pilots remain missing.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said the mid-air collision involved two light aircraft, approximately 7.4 miles west of Mornington.

It is understood they were conducting a formation flight over the bay.
