Sudan evacuation plane rescuing Brits pictured leaking fuel and covered with bullets

An evacuation plane rescuing British nationals from Sudan was seen landing in the country covered in bullet holes and leaking fuel.

Pictures taken of the Turkish C-130 transport plane show the extent of the conflict in Sudan, as it arrived covered in bullet holes after being allegedly shot at by militia fighters with small arms, just as it flew into the British-controlled Wadi Sayedna airfield, located 14 miles north of Khartoum.

Despite the damage, the plane landed safely at around 7.25am local time, before going in for repair.
