The operation to recover an American jet from RAF Lakenheath which crashed in South Lincolnshire is likely to continue all weekend.

The F-15 jet crashed at Weston Hills north of Peterborough earlier this month while on a combat training mission. The pilot ejected to safety.

Military police say the recovery operation is taking slightly longer than planned and could continue into Monday.
