A small Royal Air Force Tornado squadron and a support aircraft are due to make a flying visit to Bermuda this weekend as they head to the United States to conduct training exercises.

Three jets and a 330-200 aircraft are scheduled to arrive at LF Wade International Airport tomorrow for refuelling and a rest on their transatlantic voyage.

The aircraft originated in Lajes Air Base in the Azores and are bound for Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.

The six jet pilots and 37 support crew are expected to stay in Bermuda for one night before heading off to the US.
