A Royal Air Force Tornado GR4 aircraft has dropped a non-explosive 14kg bomb in the UK during a training exercise from its base at RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland.
The bomb was dropped during a 90-minute journey across the country, but the RAF has yet to locate the bomb and warned the public to leave it where it is and to tell the police.
A news source suggested the overland journey included a low-level route through Northumberland and north-east Scotland.
BBC report - RAF spokesman Michael Mulford explains that an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the bomb release and suggests it could be wiring on the aircraft rather than human error.
