Two found dead in tragic plane crash after aircraft vanished on way to airport

Two people died in a light-aircraft crash in north Wales after the plane failed to arrive at Caernarfon airport, according to North Wales Police. The aircraft had been reported as not reaching its scheduled destination; it was traveling from an airfield in England. A multi-agency air and ground search began and the wreckage was found on Friday afternoon in a remote area near Trawsfynydd, close to Porthmadog in Gwynedd. Police said the two occupants were pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities confirmed that the Air Accidents Investigations Branch (AAIB) has been notified and a team of investigators has been deployed. Chief Superintendent Owain Llewellyn said the force would support the AAIB and thanked search agencies for their dedication.
