The Coastguard has issued a Mayday call for nearby vessels to rush to the site as rescue boats and helicopters are dispatched to the scene.

The plane had been flying in a formation drill, and a statement from the 48th Fighter Wing command confirmed there had been one pilot aboard.

Rescuers are searching for the jet from the US Air Force wing based at RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk, the statement said.
