Emergency stop by US Air Force jet

A US Air Force refuelling jet has landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport after declaring an emergency over the Atlantic Ocean.

The Boeing KC- 135 was at a height of about 25,000ft over the Isle of Mull when it broadcast an emergency code at about 08: 00.

The aircraft, which is used to refuel other planes in mid- air, landed safely a short time later.

The jet had been diverted after its pilots reported technical issues.

The airport confirmed that the aircraft landed safely.
