Newcastle Airport in the UK is facing delays after a Royal Air Force plane had to make an emergency landing there. We're looking for photos and video anyone might have taken of the emergency landing, or any first person accounts.

Passengers are facing delays after an RAF jet made an emergency landing at Newcastle Airport after hitting a bird.

The Tornado, from RAF Marham in Norfolk, was diverted to the airport, where it landed on Tuesday evening and overshot the runway.

It was later removed from near the runway but some flights were still subject to delays on Wednesday morning.

A flight from Corfu had to be diverted to Manchester Airport with passengers taken by coach to Newcastle.
