    French Police have confirmed he was on board the plane. It doesn't sound good.

    Absolute death traps. I wouldn't go in one if you paid me.

    Completely blows your mind when you think of the possibilities of this happening are already rare... then add in if Cardiff never signed him, or signed him a day or 2 earlier or later. Then add in its 2 people not a usual 50+ seater aircraft and the possibility of him being 1 of the 2 in the whole world. F*cking mental.

    What I can't understand is there are runways on Jersey, Guernsey & Alderney so there was plenty of alternatives to get the plane down safely, you'd have thought.

    They apparently requested to land at Jersey, obviously knew there was an issue

    Lots of talk about it being a single engine plane rather than a double. Apparently (particularly with conditions/visibility as they were) chartering a single engine plane for that journey was mental, especially in the dark.

    News getting worse by the minute, Aircraft went off radar at 8 23 pm. some 14 miles north of Guernsey in bad weather conditions. That's already 14 hours ago, not sounding good at all, we remain in hope.

    This true? I haven't seen this on any news site I've seen. Strange that if they were in contact close to there they can't locate the plane.

    Hate to be a cynic but he's almost certainly brown bread. What a disaster. Small planes are definitely a no no for me - even more so after this.

    It says so on the BBC website:

    "Guernsey police said "no trace" of the missing aircraft had been found.

    It left Nantes at 19:15 and had been flying at 5,000ft when it contacted Jersey air traffic control requesting descent, the force said"
