Debriefing ascertained that he was last seen at the style close to SH674610 and was descending on the fence line towards the A5. A search area was formulated with many troops searching the area behind Bryn Poeth including further north from PLS, east of Bodesi Farm, west of Bryn Poeth and south towards the A5 road.
