A reported Royal Air Force "radar jet" was spotted flying over Birmingham this afternoon. Local residents scrambled outside to catch a glimpse of the rare aircraft amid multiple sightings.
It comes in the wake of a flurry of unusual air activity in and around Birmingham Airport this month. Just last week a whale-shaped Airbus Beluga had landed at the Solihull air hub after crew flagged a technical issue in mid-air on March 3.
Many locals rushed outside to take pictures of the plane. And one stunned member of the public said: "It's not every day you get to see one of these."
