Leesverder>>>RAF Marham Tornados in near miss with glider, report says
Two RAF jets were involved in a near miss with a glider which crossed their approach path as it took part in a competition, a report has revealed.
The glider was approximately 925m away from the Tornados as the jets prepared to land at RAF Marham in Norfolk last August.
The UK Airprox Board said RAF Marham's air traffic controllers were "shaken".
Investigators said one of the reasons for the incident was the "late sighting" by the Tornado crew.
There was also "probable non-sighting" by the Ventus glider pilot.
