A huge American military aircraft was seen flying over the region days after a plane set off from RAF Waddington to patrol the Ukrainian border.
The air traffic monitoring site FlightRadar24 shows that a Lockheed C130J Hercules went over the Woodhall Spa area, in Lincolnshire, at around 8am on Thursday (March 3).
Monitoring its flightpath so far also shows that it has flown over areas including the outskirts of Lincoln and Gibraltar Point on the east coast, reports Lincolnshire Live.
Details on the site show that the aircraft's country of registration is the USA but that it departed from an airport in Canada.
It left the St John's International Airport, based in Newfoundland in Canada, at 11.06pm, although its destination is not displayed.
The aircraft, which has a wingspan of 40m and measures 30m in length, has been flying at an average height of 27,000ft.
