Police confirmed last night that the small plane had just one person on board when it disappeared from radar at around 12.47pm yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The plane set off from Caernarfon Airport some 25 minutes earlier to fly to the Great Orme in Llandudno and was on its way back when it lost contact.<\/p>\n
According to data from flightradar24.com, a Cessna light aircraft making the same route at the time given by police and the Coastguard descended near the uninhabited Puffin Island before it disappeared.<\/p>\n
