Ryanair Flight Escorted To Landing By RAF Jet After Mid-Flight Incident

Ryanair is in the news again this morning but it isn't to do with their flight cancellations this time.

One of their planes has been given an escort by two RAF jets into a landing at Stansted Airport this morning. People in the area had heard large sonic booms and the jets can be clearly seen right behind the plane.
