Light aircraft in difficulties - Sussex

This afternoon while flying model aircraft on the Downs, we saw a light aircraft ( Cessna 150ish ) apparently with problems. It cleared a set of pylons then flew at about 100-200ft along a valley. Engine was running but the aircraft was sinking. We watched it until it reached a corner in the valley. There was no smoke or fire, but the aircraft did not reappear. Time about 1355 local. Location between Lancing and Worthing. We called emergency services, but they could not find anything. Anyone know what happened?

Hope all on board were OK
