Just seen this on the BBC

The RAF has "grounded" its fleet of military Voyager transport planes following, what the Ministry of Defence calls an "in-flight issue" .

The BBC has been told a Voyager carrying British troops back to Afghanistan dropped a few thousand feet while in Turkish airspace.

As a precaution the pilot diverted the plane to Incirlik - a US military base in southern Turkey.

About 200 military personnel were on board.

Only those Voyagers fitted with military Defensive Aid Suites or air-to-air refuelling have been affected.

Do we ask the museums for the VC-10's back?
