A major search is underway after a plane with two people on board is believed to have crashed near a Loch in western Scotland.

Lifeboats, helicopters and the police are currently on the scene searching for the missing light aircraft, which reportedly went down near Loch Etive, around 30 miles east of Oban.

The plane was travelling from central Scotland to Tiree, the island of the inner Hebrides when it was reported to have dived.

Spokesman for Police Scotland said an emergency call was made at 1.50pm this afternoon when the plane lost radar contact near Beinn Nan Lus, a boggy hill near Glen Kinglass in Argyll.  The plane was said to have disappeared behind the hills over the Loch and that search is carried out by the police using lifeboats and helicopters.  But nothing concrete has been found.
