A woman says a military aircraft tore a home in her roof, and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) is now investigating the claim. Lesley Wager, 52, said roof tiles were torn from her home and roof batons were damaged as an aircraft passed over her home.
The MoD said there was no planned aviation in the area on the day but is investigating. Lesley told BirminghamLive: "You could hear it before it came, a military aircraft flew past and dust fell through the air. I ran outside and shouted for my husband, you could see tiles on the ground and there was a big hole in our roof.

"I want someone to inspect the roof for structural safety. I was told they would email an investigation team and get back to me but it has been 10 days. My mental health has gone down and I feel like my head will explode, I have had panic attacks and been in tears.
"I don't expect red carpet treatment or a top military man to come over, I just want someone to inspect my roof."

The MoD said no planned military flying activity was identified in the area on that date. A spokesperson said: "The MoD is looking into a claim a military aircraft caused damage to a roof in the Birmingham area. The MoD has contacted the complainant and will advise her of the outcome of the investigation once complete."
