Eight-year-old Grace Elizabeth McKinney and Kara McKinney, five, are understood to be with their father Michael McKinney, his girlfriend Martina and Woody, three. They are believed to be travelling in a cream Elddis Autoquest motorhome. The girls were last seen in the Alyth area of Perth and Kinross and police would like to confirm their well-being.

They have previously been known to camp with their father in the west coast area, Fort William and Skye.

Grace is described as 4ft 10in, slim with red/auburn hair, and Kara is 4ft with red/auburn hair. Police in Scotland said: " They are all thought to have travelled to Northern Ireland on August 10, most likely in their campervan.

I assume police are checking/have checked the ferry services from Stranraer/Cairnryan to Larne/Belfast if they believe they went to N. Ireland... An appeal to other passengers on possible sailings might help.

Just thinking out loud: a photo of the RV, or at least a similar one might help. As would contacting campgrounds in NI with flyers.

ETA: I should have read the links more carefully:

“Were visiting their father for a week but they have all disappeared, seen leaving his flat in Alyth early Thursday morning.

“Travelling in an Elddis Autoquest campervan which is creamy/green in colour, very old and rough looking, reg H36 PBO.
“They will be with their father Michael McKinney (5’10, grey hair worn in a top knot with shaven sides*and a goatee) and his Czech girlfriend Martina (5’5 with shoulder length dark brown hair and heavy build) and also her three year old boy Woody who has blonde hair."

There's a photo of the camper with License plate in the article.

Wow. That could be a false number plate. According to DVLA, that registration belongs to a white Fiat vehicle. Enter the vehicle reg H36 PBO in this link to see what I mean:

Elddis is now part of the Erwin Hymer Group which looks as though it is German owned, whereas Fiat is still owned by the Agnelli family in Italy.

There *is* a Fiat connection to these campers, if you have a wander around the internet looking at various Elddis RV/campers.
