Imagine looking out of your plane window and seeing a Typhoon fighter jet following you...

As we told you earlier, that's exactly what's happened this morning with two jets scrambled from RAF Coninsgby to escort a passenger plane to Stansted Airport.

It landed safely and police are now investigating what's suspected to be a "hoax" security alert.

Data supplied by flight tracking website Flight Radar 24, external appears to show that a passenger aircraft which was diverted to London Stansted airport was put into a holding motion over the North Sea.

The plane - believed to be a Ryanair flight FR2145 from Kaunas, Lithuania - was supposed to land at London Luton airport, but it was instead escorted by Typhoon jets from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire to Stansted in Essex.

Ryanair has issued a statement confirming one of its passenger planes was diverted from London Luton Airport to London Stansted after a "suspected hoax security alert".

The flight - from Kaunas, Lithuania - landed safely after being escorted by RAF Typhoon jets.

No further details on the nature of the hoax have been given at this stage.

The RAF has issued a statement confirming that it sent fighter jets to escort a civilian aircraft, believed to be a Ryanair flight from Kaunas, Lithuania, earlier.

The passenger jet was due to arrive at London Luton airport, but was instead diverted to London Stansted where it has safely landed.

The incident is thought to be linked to a sonic boom which was heard earlier this morning.

Campaigners say they're still opposed to plans for a new waste transfer station on Long Leys Road despite a public meeting held by the company behind them.

Veolia said they wanted to give residents a chance to ask questions at a meeting last night after previously coming under fire for not being transparent enough.

However, one of the campaigners, Jon Davies, says it hasn't changed their minds:

The plans were initially rejected by the county council but Veolia are in the process of appealing against the decision and maintain Long Leys Road is the best place for the site.

Two people have been treated for burns and respiratory problems after they found mustard gas canisters in Lincolnshire.

On Sunday bomb disposal teams were called to Roughton Moor Woods near Woodhall Spa after the devices were found.

The canister was discovered by two bottle hunters.

The canisters were taken to Porton Down, the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, where mustard gas was confirmed

The canisters are believed to have been undisturbed since the site was an operational RAF base in the 1940s.

The police have cordoned off the area.

Stopping the sale of the Humberston Fitties chalet park could cost North East Lincolnshire Council £500,000 according to a councillor.

Councillor Matthew Patrick, who is responsible for finance, has been responding to his council colleague John Fenty who wants to see the sale of the Fitties stopped.

In March residential park operator Tingdene was announced as the preferred bidder to take over the leasehold of the chalet park.

The team working on recovering the downed Lancaster in the Netherlands were hoping that during the excavation they'd find the body of a missing Canadian airman who was part of Lincolnshire based 61 Squadron.

Well the Dutch Ministry of Defence has just confirmed that human remains have been uncovered at the site.

However they say it will take some time to identify exactly who they belong to.

An alleyway in Lincoln has been branded unsafe and unhygenic by local businesses.

Some two dozen traders have signed a petition backing calls to install gates to St Peter's Passageway which is just off the High Street.

It would then be closed off because of an increase in drug use and anti-social behaviour.

The petition has been handed to the City of Lincoln Council who carried out a public consultation two years ago.

In a statement the council said they'll continue to monitor the problem and work with partners to resolve the issues.

Two people have been arrested after plant machinery valued in excess of £150,000 was found at a scrap yard in Scunthorpe.
