The defence secretary’s plane was flying over the Atlantic on Wednesday when it was forced to land at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk
An aircraft carrying US defence secretary Pete Hegseth has had to make an «unscheduled landing» in the UK.
The jet was about 30 minutes into its journey back to the US after a NATO defence ministers’ meeting in Brussels, when it suffered a «depressurisation issue».
Sean Parnell, chief Pentagon spokesman, confirmed the aircraft had been diverted to the UK due to a crack in the aircraft windscreen.
