RAF fighter jets escort plane into Birmingham airport after it loses communication

A plane from Bucharest has been escorted into Birmingham airport by RAF fighter jets after it experienced communication difficulties.
The private plane, which contained three crew and no passengers, was met by two Typhoon jets scrambled from RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire, and a Voyager aircraft launched from Brize Norton, Oxfordshire.
They escorted the Saab 340 plane once it entered UK air space, Birmingham Airport said.
