Soaring 27,000ft over Scotland at 316mph, new video footage shows a US Air Force B-52 Stratofortress refuelling on a flight from Spain before returning to the mission - named Operation Allied Sky.

The spectacular footage shows an RAF Typhoon taking to the skies over the UK to escort the US aircraft.

During the mission, the bomber completed an aerial refuelling from the KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft based at RAF Mildenhall.
