Two individuals required dramatic rescue after a small aircraft was forced to make a crash landing in the sea just off the Welsh coast.
The incident occurred on Friday evening close to Cardigan Island, an uninhabited nature reserve situated off Gwbert in Ceredigion, not far from the Cliff Hotel and Spa.
A microlight – a lightweight, fixed-wing or weight-shift aircraft – encountered difficulties and came down in Cardigan Bay at approximately 6pm, according to coastguards.
Two occupants were discovered at sea perched on the aircraft's wing.
They were brought ashore by lifeboat and transferred to the Welsh Ambulance Service, who had been dispatched to the location alongside RNLI crews from New Quay and Cardigan and a coastguard rescue helicopter.

A spokesman for the coastguard said: "We received a report at around 6pm on Friday of a microlight, with two people on board, that had ditched into the water approximately nine nautical miles north west of Cardigan Island, Pembrokeshire.
"A coastguard rescue helicopter, RNLI lifeboats from Fishguard, New Quay, and Cardigan, and the ambulance service were all sent.
"The two people were located sitting on the wing of the microlight.
"They were recovered by a lifeboat and taken to shore where they were passed into the care of the ambulance service."
