The puzzling message was spotted by a police helicopter near the M40

A mystery "Sue" has left Twitter perplexed after the name was discovered etched into an Oxfordshire field.

The puzzling message was spotted by the National Police Air Service's Benson helicopter just south of Tetsworth, near Thame.

It posted the picture on Twitter, external and added: "Let's see if we can use the power of social media to #FindSue!"

People suggested it could be an advert for a Suex underwater scooter, or an attempt to get on Google maps.

Twitter user Pete‏ posted, external: "You sure it's not an advert for a local law firm?"
