Two pilots who ejected and parachuted out of from their plane moments before it crashed are expected to make a full recovery, the RAF has said.

The Hawk T2 aircraft had been flying out of the RAF Valley station on Anglesey on Wednesday when it plummeted to the ground in the nearby Pencarnisiog area .

Hawk operations have been paused by the RAF as a "precautionary measure" while investigations into the crash are ongoing.

On Thursday, the RAF said the two pilots, who were treated for minor injuries, are "doing well" and are "expected to make a full recovery".

A video of the crash shared on social media on Wednesday appeared to show the two pilots ejecting from the aircraft before it nosedives and crashes in flames.
