Wreckage of F-35 that plunged into sea recovered - sailor held for 'leaking footage'
The footage appeared on Twitter soon after the incident, after someone held a phone up to a computer screen to copy a CCTV recording from HMS Queen Elizabeth's control tower.
The arrested sailor is thought to have been flown from the aircraft carrier back to the UK. While the film was poor quality and not operationally sensitive, the fact it was leaked is understood to have angered naval chiefs. It is not clear what caused the crash but one theory put forward is that something - such as a plastic rain cover - may have been sucked into the aircraft's engine, prompting it to fail.It is understood that the wreckage will be taken to a naval base in the Mediterranean and, although sources said this base belongs to an"ally", no further information was given.
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said:"Operations to recover the UK F-35 in the Mediterranean Sea have successfully concluded. "We extend our thanks to our NATO allies, Italy and the United States of America for their support during the recovery operation."
