  • Gulfstream escorted by RAF

    The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said that two RAF Typhoon fighter jets had accompanied a passenger plane flying into Stansted.
    One of the fighter planes, which were scrambled from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, reportedly landed at Stansted.
    A scheduled Ryanair flight from Alicante in Spain, which was due to arrive at 8pm, has been diverted to Luton.
    A spokesman in the Essex Police control room said that there had been "an incident" which had been resolved but was not at liberty to give details.
    A loud noise was heard over Bishop’s Stortford, Stansted and Harlow soon after 7pm.
    On Twitter, people reported hearing an explosion near Little Hadham and a bang in Stortford, rattling the windows of homes near the rugby club at Silver Leys.
    One person said: “What is going on? Loud bang over Stortford and now a military jet flying low over Stortford.”
    Another tweeted: “It flew over my garden at Little Hallingbury. Looked to be alongside a passenger plane.”
