Flightradar suggests the plane took off from Shobdon in Herefordshire on Sunday morning.

An eyewitness told the Cambrian News: "It appears there are two persons on board and they have now decided to walk down the field to the village.

"I can only presume the aircraft ran out of fuel or suffered a malfunction.

"I did not hear any sound  prior to seeing the aircraft by chance at around 3pm."
