An RAF Typhoon fighter jet was forced into an emergency landing today.
The Air Force have confirmed that the aircraft coded JEDI0012 was forced to land at their Lossiemouth base after declaring a “minor emergency” this afternoon.
The alarm was first sounded after a distress signal from the aircraft was issued around Findhorn, Moray at around 1.45pm.
However, the RAF have confirmed that the aircraft has landed safely as of 1.56pm today.
It is understood that no-one was harmed as a result.
A Royal Air Force spokesperson said: “The jet had a very minor airborne fault during its flight.
“The 7700-squawk code was used as a precautionary alert to Air Traffic Control that there may be an issue.
“However, the aircraft arrived back to RAF Lossiemouth safely without incident.”
