Two RAF Typhoon fighters intercepted a Jet 2 aircraft over Essex to escort the airline back to Stansted Airport.
The Quick Reaction Alert caused sonic booms across the east coast as the pair of supersonic fighter raced south from RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire.
The alert was launched following reports of a disruptive passenger on board the Jet 2 aircraft which had just departed Stansted Airport.
