THE family of missing Wiltshire man Ben Garland are flying home from Ibiza on Thursday without his body.

Mark Garland, 54, and his two brothers, Kirk and Gary Garland, and Ben's younger brother, Jake, 22, will arrive at Bristol Airport on an early morning flight from Seville.

Mr Garland, of Frome Road, Trowbridge, said: "It's not good. There's been no sighting of Ben and nothing to report. We will be flying back to Bristol on Thursday.

"The Spanish police found the bodies of the other two people that were missing but they can't find Ben. It is just baffling me."

The luxury superyacht crewman disappeared on January 21 in the Portinatx Cala area of Ibiza.

Rescue workers believe Ben fell into the sea in the aftermath of Storm Gloria while visiting the coast to film waves crashing against the shore to post on Instagram.

His whole family and friends immediately flew out to Ibiza to help Spanish search and rescue teams look for Mr Garland.

They included his two sisters Charlotte,36, and Leanne, 34, and several of Ben's friends, Tom Eggleton, Tyler Munn, Rory Larsen-Barker, Jamie Steer and Matthew Tanner.

Mr Garland, a First Bus bus driver, added: “Ben's uncle Trevor Butler, has flown home today. There's only four of us left here now.

"I just want some closure now.We know that he is not with us anymore."

Mr Garland thanked everyone who has donated to a justgiving appeal which has so far raised more than£7,000 to help find Ben.

Mr Garland says the family will put the money towards bringing Ben home and paying for his funeral when his body is found.

Mr Garland is a former pupil of St Laurence School in Bradford on Avon. He studied engineering at Wiltshire College.

He travelled to Spain in April last year to look for work and later joined a seven-strong crew on a luxury 47-metre superyacht in the Balearic Islands.

The alert was raised by the boat’s captain who called the emergency services when Mr Garland did not return from his trip to the coast. His bike was found in Cala Portinatx. Local police, using helicopters and a Spanish Civil Guard coastguard vessel, are still searching for his body.
