Investigators looking into a near-miss involving an RAF Tornado jet found that an airfield where a microlight pilot was about to land was marked in the wrong place on military maps.

The report stated: "The Tornado pilot would probably have been better placed to have remained at height until further north due to the myriad of small airfields and avoidances in that particular area.
