Rescuers were searching a cluster of small Shetland islands yesterday for a fisherman after the body of Trevor Blair, 27, was found roped to the wreckage of a boat and a third man, Terry Chapman, of Walls, Shetland, was discovered sitting on rocks on the shores of the uninhabited island of Vaila, about 150m from the capsized vessel.

The survivor was flown to the Gilbert Bain hospital, shocked and hypothermic, while RAF and coastguard helicopters searched for Leif Kinarsson, 33, also of Walls.
