A nuclear-capable B-52 bomber is roaming the skies over Britain after emitting an emergency squawk.
The US Air Force jet, coded SPICY22, took off from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire earlier today before it began to circle in a constant loop after issuing an emergency Squawk 7700 code - thought to be because one of the bomber's engines has failed.
The jet is currently covering a path which takes in the northern end of Gloucester, Churchdown, Bishop's Cleeve, Newent, Tewkesbury and Cheltenham. It is understood that it is in a loop so that it can burn off fuel before it can land again, according to local reports.
