Low pax plane over Shipston on Stour, Warks

There was a breaking news story on The Bear 102 (local radio based in Stratford Upon Avon) at around 10am stating that a number of people had rung the police as a:

"medium sized passenger aircraft was seen overhead Shipston on Stour at a few hundred feet above ground apparently with very loud engines and appeared to be struggling..."

Anyone shed any light on this as it seems a very strange occurance given the position of Shipston in relation to any airport, the closest being EGBW (Wellesbourne) which is a couple of miles north and grossly inadequate to take what was described as a medium-sized aircraft. Im aware that the media tend to hype things like this up (and skimp on detail) and that eyewitness accounts are not always correct.
