The plane crashed in a field near the village of MarchoveletteAt least 10 people have been killed after a small tourist plane crashed near the city of Namur in south-east Belgium.
It was carrying a group of skydivers and crashed shortly after take-off, killing all on board, the local mayor has told the AFP news agency.
The plane is thought to have taken off from the Temploux aerodrome and crashed around 10 minutes later in a field.
Its wing appears to have suffered some damage, Belgian media report.
The small plane came down near the village of Marchovelette, 10km (six miles) from Namur.
"I just saw a plane lose its right wing in mid-flight and crash. I heard a massive 'bang' towards the south of Marchovelette," one witness told Belgian television.
"I didn't see anyone escape with a parachute," the witness added.
