A vintage fighter jet from the Cold War era has arrived at RAF Cosford in Shropshire.

It didn't fly in as it came in a convoy of lorries down the M6 from Scotland.

The Phantom aircraft hasn't flown since 1992, 25 years ago, but it is famous for breaking the speed record from Land's End to John O'Groats in 1989.

This time it's been travelling at a slightly more sedate pace.
