A Red Arrows jet declared a state of emergency while flying over Norfolk this afternoon.
The plane departed from RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire at around 12.30pm before coming into trouble around half an hour later.
The Hawk T.1. jet then headed southeast and began a flight over west Norfolk for around 30 minutes before declaring the Squawk 7700, a general emergency, at 12.55pm over Downham Market.
