An RAF plane, believed to be carrying a delayed consignment of personal protective equipment (PPE), has landed in Oxfordshire.
Flight tracker RadarBox showed the Airbus A400-M registered ZM416 depart Istanbul and land just after 3.30am on Wednesday at RAF Brize Norton.
The plane had been dispatched from the base, where two other planes are on stand-by to pick up further kit from Turkey, late on Monday.

It is not known if the consignment, which was ordered on Thursday and originally due to arrive on Sunday, includes 400,000 badly-needed surgical gowns.
The arrival follows a flight on April 10 from Turkey which delivered 250,000 items of PPE to RAF Brize Norton for use by UK medical staff.
This was made up 50,000 N-95 face masks, 100,000 surgical masks and 100,000 protective suits.
