RAF engineers were busily fixing a stranded Harrier jet today after its pilot was forced to make an emergency landing at Teesside Airport late on Tuesday night.

The pilot reported an electrical problem before he was guided safely down by an accompanying RAF jet at 10.30pm.

RAF and airport officials expected the Harrier would be able to return to its base at Cottesmore, in Leicestershire, later today.
