A Red Arrows jet has crashed in Wales at an RAF base, the Ministry of Defence has confirmed.

The pilot’s condition is not yet known.

The Welsh Ambulance Service said it was called shortly before 1.30pm on Tuesday to reports an aircraft had crashed at RAF Valley in Holyhead.

A spokesman said they sent an emergency ambulance to the scene and Wales Air Ambulance is also in attendance.

Sky News Defence Correspondent Alistair Bunkall said it is believed the aircraft was a two person plane.
