Jumbo diverted to RAF Lyneham

A JUMBO jet had to stop for the night when permission was refused for it to land at Heathrow.

The British Airways Boeing 747 was on a training flight on Monday night, and had to divert to RAF Lyneham when landing clearance was denied at Heathrow.

RAF Lyneham spokesman Paul Spencer-White said: "We have a 24 hour set-up and act as an overflow airport for Heathrow, so the jumbo jet stayed here until this morning."
