At around 6pm on Friday, the Danish emergency services were alerted to an accident in which an aircraft was upside down in the water. It is still unclear how the accident happened and why the plane ended up upside down.

The head of operations, Karsten Neve Petersen, told BT that a Swede and a Norwegian were on board. He also said the two people were "really cold", but that they made it ashore themselves.

The aircraft is about 20 metres from the coast and has been moored by the rescue services to prevent it from drifting.
