Brit tourist 'vanishes in Spain' after missing his plane home from Benidorm holiday
Friends and family of Tim Wager, 39, are "very worried" after he arrived at Alicante-Elche Airport on Tuesday evening at around 9pm but failed to return home back to England A British tourist has reportedly vanished in Spain after missing his flight home from his holiday - as his desperate family pleads for his return. Friends and family of Tim Wager, 39, are "very worried" after he arrived at Alicante-Elche Airport on Tuesday evening at around 9pm but failed to return home to England. Initially, they believed his mobile phone may have died and that he was on the returning flight. However, his phone had been "dead for two days", according to a social media appeal. The missing appeal states: "Tim arrived at Alicante Airport at 9pm near the Bus Stop/Taxi Ranks. His phone was tracked up to this point. "His family presumed he left his phone on a bus or taxi and thought he was flying back. Tim hasn't arrived back in England and his phone has now been dead for two days." "Tim can be vulnerable when drinking," it added, "he is traveling alone and most likely to be in or around Alicante Airport... his family are very worried." A concerned family member told a local Benidorm group on social media that Tim was staying at the BH Los Angeles Hotel. The British Foreign Office has been contacted for comment. It comes after a missing Brit was found after he vanished on a night out in Madrid. Edinburgh University history student Gregor Thomson, 21, was reported missing in the early hours of Sunday, less than a full day after arriving with his rugby club teammates for a weekend trip abroad. Dad Murray, who landed in Spain following his disappearance, issued the good news that he had been found, saying: "Just landed in Madrid and received the good news Gregor is safe. I'm still not sure what happened. Just very relieved." Murray had pleaded for his return after he became separated from his pals just a day after arriving. He said: "No one's heard from Gregor since the early hours of Saturday morning and we're obviously all extremely worried. He had only arrived in Madrid around 9.30am on Friday with rugby teammates for a weekend away. "We've been told he became separated from them in a bar called Diverzo Cocktail Bar. They'd obviously had a few drinks so things are a little bit hazy but the people he was with say he wasn't talking to anyone else or doing anything out of the ordinary that might explain a disappearance like this. "My son is a sensible lad and he's never gone missing like this before. The police are involved and are doing everything they can including trying to get hold of CCTV in the area where he was last seen for clues." He added: "Gregor was staying in a hostel with the other lads who are also helping out as much as they can. His phone is dead and we don't know if he still has it with him. He had his wallet on him. They are all due to fly back home tomorrow around lunchtime."
