| USAF F-15 jet crashes in Lincolnshire | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| A US military aircraft has crashed in a field near houses and a school in Lincolnshire. | |
| Witnesses saw the F-15 come down in a field near Broadgate, Weston Hills, at about 15:30 BST. | |
| The pilot is believed to have ejected from the aircraft and police say he has been located and is safe. | |
| Nearby Weston Hills Church of England Primary School has been evacuated but a member of staff said everyone at the school was fine. | |
| Shaun Gough, whose twin five-year-old daughters are pupils at the school, said part of the wing had landed in the field nearby. | |
| "When my wife went to the school to pick up my daughter she said the black smoke was blowing across the car park and into the school," said Mr Gough. | |
| "I was watching when it came down back end first, and when you're standing watching it come down close to your daughters' school it's pretty horrendous. | |
| "The wing is in a field about 400 yards from the school. [I'm] just glad nobody has been hurt. | |
| "I've seen a Sea King helicopter land and pick somebody up. I'm guessing it's the pilot." | |
