A 'vulnerable' missing pensioner who sparked a police search has been found safe and well.
Ted Brown, of Ashley, Near Milton, was last seen leaving his home in High Ridge Crescent at 9.15am today.
He failed to return, prompting an immediate search of the area.
The air support unit was drafted in to help officers on the ground search for Mr Brown.
Just before 3.30pm on Monday, New Forest Cops said the 88-year-old had been found safe and well near Lymington and was back home.
