RAF Typhoons escort foreign plane into Stansted Airport

That's how the Daily Telegraph reported today's incident whereby a Russian made Antonov An-26 cargo airliner from Latvia was escorted into Stansted airport having made a detour around London when it was meant to be heading to Birmingham.

The Telegraph reported that One Twitter user who monitors aircraft radio traffic claimed on Twitter: "I have just heard a warning go out 'if you do not respond to my orders immediately you will be shot down.'"

The article included what appears to be the sound recording of the fighter pilots transmission to the freighter aircraft.

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
