RAF Coningsby fighter jet lands safely after ‘mid-air emergency’

A fighter jet has landed safely after an “in-flight emergency”, the RAF has said.

The air force confirmed the canopy of the Typhoon, from XI (F) Sqn at RAF Coningsby, had been “jettisoned by the pilot” during a flight which took it over the North Sea.

A spokesperson for the RAF had earlier said it was due to a suspected bird strike.

The aircraft was recovered safely to its Lincolnshire base and the pilot was fine, they added.
