Chinook stranded in field after emergency landing

An RAF Chinook remains stranded in a field after a technical issue led to an emergency landing.
The 45-year-old aircraft landed prematurely at Old Warden Airfield, in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, on 26 February.
It has subsequently sunk into soft ground at the site, which is run by the Shuttleworth Trust.
A spokesman for the RAF said: "Specialist personnel are assessing the aircraft with a view to a recovery in the near future."
He added the emergency landing was made as a precaution following a technical issue onboard.
The BBC understands fuel is being removed from the aircraft to reduce its weight before take-off.
Old Warden Airfield houses a trove of vintage aircraft across its six hangars.
A Shuttleworth spokeswoman said: "It is not uncommon for us to welcome military aircraft, especially helicopters, to the airfield for various reasons, but we are unable to provide a comment on this specific visit."
