Fossett will return - pal Branson
Updated on 04 September 2007
Sir Richard Branson has backed missing adventurer Steve Fossett to return safe and well.
The 63-year-old world aviation record holder was last seen taking off from the Hilton Ranch south of Smith Valley, Nevada, on Monday night in a single-engined aircraft.
It is believed Mr Fossett was searching for empty and dry lake beds which may be suitable for a forthcoming world land-speed record attempt in a car.
