A plane carrying the German football team declared a mid-air emergency over Scotland this morning and was forced to land at Edinburgh airport.
The aircraft got into difficulty at 29,000ft about three miles west of Arbroath on the east coast and turned sharply west.
It took 20 minutes to then land in the Scottish capital and the plane remained declaring an emergency until it was grounded.
It is not yet clear what sparked the sudden drama or if the plane was damaged in any way.
The Germany team had been heading back to Frankfurt from Reykjavik after a 4-0 win against Iceland in a World Cup qualifying match (pictured last night)
