[Anmer]

A passenger plane has landed under military escort at Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire after it lost contact with air traffic control.

The Royal Air Force said Typhoon jets were scrambled from RAF Coningsby and RAF Lossiemouth to identify an unresponsive civilian aircraft.

Once communication was re-established, the plane was escorted to Prestwick.
