An RAF fighter plane crashed yesterday en route to this weekend's Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford.

The Harrier jump jet crashed near a pub and main road in Oxfordshire, apparently striking a car as it came down.

The Ministry of Defence confirmed the plane crashed at about 5pm, but said the pilot ejected safely.

RAF Harrier GR9, which was flying to Fairford, came down near Sturdy's Castle Pub in Tackley, near Kidlington.

Catriona Hamlet, who works at the pub, said the plane hit a car, but the driver was not badly injured.
