A fighter jet has made an emergency landing at a Scots airport during an international military exercise.

The Hawk T1 landed safely at Stornoway Airport after suffering suspected engine problems on Tuesday morning.

The coastguard, ambulance, police and fire services were put on alert but were not needed.

Another aircraft participating in Operation Joint Warrior was forced to land at Stornoway on Saturday after striking a bird.

Joint Warrior war games are being held in Scotland until April 24.

A spokeswoman for Stornoway RNLI said: "Stornoway RNLI's all-weather lifeboat launched this morning at 9.12am to a full emergency at Stornoway Airport, along with other emergency services.

"The volunteer crew of Stornoway RNLI were stood down at 9.21am and returned to berth at 9.30am

"The full emergency had been called for a Hawk jet. Stornoway lifeboat is routinely alerted for airport emergencies as the main runway at Stornoway Airport ends at the shore on the north end and a southerly approach for aircraft is also over the sea south of Holm."
