A man who 'wanted to go to beach during lockdown' flew his private jet from London to North Wales - before landing at an RAF base.

The civilian pilot landed on a runway at RAF Valley on the island of Anglesey on Monday May 25, sparking an emergency response from Ministry of Defence (MoD) guards and fire crews, the RAF confirmed.

The pilot was believed to have flown from an airfield in Surrey as he wanted to "go to the beach", despite it being in breach of the coronavirus lockdown rules for Wales, a source told the PA news agency.
