Rescue teams are frantically searching for a plane that has gone missing over the English Channel.

The plane, which was carrying two people, took off from Wellesbourne in Warwickshire on Saturday morning, but never landed in Northern France as expected.

All ships sailing in the English Channel have been asked to contact the French Coastguard with any reports of debris they may spot.

Numerous rescue teams and other members of the emergency services are currently assisting with the search but no debris or further information has been made available at this time.
