The C-17 Globemaster aircraft was flown over Leeds and Bradford on Tuesday afternoon whilst engaged 'in essential training', according to RAF Brize Norton. The training is necessary and routine and is not connected with RAF support to the UK's fight against Coronavirus, it was confirmed. Check out these pictures you snapped and sent in to us.
