THE search for a missing single-engine aircraft that plunged into the sea off Port St Johns in the Eastern Cape on Sunday is continuing. Authorities said they have lost sight of the wreckage of the plane which was last seen floating in the water, about three-and-a-half nautical miles from Birdrock, south of Port St Johns on Sunday evening.
