A photo of a piece of artwork has appeared on Banksy's website, fuelling speculation the world-renowned graffiti artist has struck once again.
The 15 ft painting, which depicts a black and white biplane executing a heart-shaped loop, has been daubed on the side of a building in Liverpool.
Nicknamed the 'Love Plane' by Twitter folk, it bears all the hallmarks of a stencilled Banksy mural.
Known for his satirical street art and poignant social commentary, his work has featured in cities throughout the world, and as far as the Israeli West Bank barrier.
Liverpool council said they have no plans to remove the latest work of art, sprayed on the Norwich House building, next to a car park on Rumford Street.
But they warned that the owners may still decide to take action.
A spokesperson for Liverpool council said: "We are not taking any action.
"It’s on private property and there have been no complaints about it. We would only normally remove it if we had complaints about it."
It is not the first time Banksy has used a Liverpool building as his canvas.
In 2004, the unknown artist, believed to have been born in Bristol in the early 1970's, was commissioned to ink a derelict pub as part of the Liverpool Bienniel.
The former Whitehouse pub, on Berry Street, upon which his gun-slinging rat is painted on, went on to fetch £114,000 at auction.
