The French Coast Guard told Sky News that the plane was a “worrying object of disappearance” and the search for the plane was carried out “all afternoon”. He said the teams could not find “wreckage or wreckage” and the search would continue Sunday morning. The Piper P-28 took off from Wellesbourne near Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire on Saturday morning bound for Le Touquet in northern France. A Falcon 50 aircraft, a helicopter and a tug that were already at sea were all deployed to the search operation along with a British aircraft, the Coast Guard added. All ships sailing in the area were asked to look for any signs of the plane and to report any appearances to the French authorities. The passenger and the pilot of the plane have not been publicly identified.
