Three people are safe after their float plane crashed on the weekend.

The men left Lac du Bonnet in the plane Saturday morning, heading for lakes northeast of Bissett.

When they didn't return that night, RCMP were called.

CFB Trenton was contacted and a Hercules aircraft dispatched. Manitoba Conservation also assisted.

Early Sunday morning, the float plane was found upside down on Bushey Lake, northeast of Bissett.

The men had made their way ashore and lit a fire.

They were rescued a short time later.

The men had mild hypothermia, but were otherwise fine, said RCMP.

The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
