Just heard reports that a small aircraft has crashed into the English channel.

"The alarm was raised after the single-engine light aircraft, which was heading from London to Le Touquet, was overdue, a spokesman for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said"

 

 

Surely that wouldn't be the first anybody knew it was missing??
