Eyewitness: Jet followed plane into Manchester airport
A Qatar Airways jet has been escorted into land by RAF fighter jets at Manchester Airport.
Phil Green, who lives near the flight path, said the plane weaved around the jet all the way into the airport.
"It was around it, under it, over it, backwards and forwards," he said.
An RAF spokesperson confirmed that Typhoon aircraft were launched to investigate a civilian aircraft whose pilot had requested assistance.
