Ooops....

Training flights on RAF Typhoons in Lincolnshire have been suspended after ash deposits were found in the engines of four aircraft.

The fleet is being checked at its base in Coningsby, Lincolnshire.

An RAF spokesman said the Typhoons were "very high performance jets" so staff were "just being extra cautious".

The move comes amid recriminations over the costs of a six-day airspace shutdown caused by volcanic ash drifting south from Iceland.
