An RAF jet used by VIPs including the Royals had a near miss with a drone, an investigation has found.
The plane was coming in to land at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire in June when the pilots spotted the drone at 2,200ft.
That is almost four times the legal altitude the drone was permitted to fly.
The Voyager came within 100ft of the drone with experts concluding there was a "high" risk of a collision.
Compiled by the UK Airprox Board, which assesses potential collisions in UK airspace, the report revealed the drone was spotted "heading in the opposite direction" when the plane was on its final approach.
"The crew immediately made a report to ATC (air traffic control) over the radio and the approach and landing was completed without further incident," according to MailOnline.
The report also revealed that the drone was close enough "for the crew to see LED lights".
The jet is fitted with secure satellite communications and missile detection systems and was frequently used by Boris Johnson during his stint as Prime Minister.
It is described by the RAF as an air-to-air refuelling tanker that is also able to operate as strategic air transport.
Records show the jet was not carrying any members of the royal family or government ministers at the time of the incident.
It comes just a year after the RAF Envoy IV aircraft came close to a collision with a drone as it came into land at Bristol airport.
The Voyager aircraft became widely known after Johnson decided upon a bold rebrand during his 2020 premiership, re-painting the traditionally grey RAF aircraft with patriotic colours at a cost of £900,000.
